Davidson of Tulloch Dress tartan
Dress tartan of Clan Davidson.
The Register records this dress sett as being used in 1978 by the Valley Forge Pipe Band in Pennsylvania. It gives no reason for the choice, so we make no claim for it as a traditional Davidson dress tartan.

Get the kilt
When you order a kilt, ask for the tartan by its full name — for example “Davidson of Tulloch Dress” — and say which colourway you want. “Modern” is dark and strong, “ancient” is lighter, “weathered” is muted. The sett is the same in each.
We are choosing retailers we trust and will list them here soon.
Wear the colours
Our own Davidson range is on its way: the name, the tartan and the motto on a heavyweight tee, a hoodie and a mug. About the shop.
