Davidson of Tulloch tartan
Other sett of Clan Davidson.
An early nineteenth-century sett found in the Highland Society of London records, now named for the Tulloch branch of the family. The Register says it is sometimes called Davidson of Tulloch blue, and that the threadcount was taken from a photograph of an 1880 woven sample.

Get the kilt
When you order a kilt, ask for the tartan by its full name — for example “Davidson of Tulloch” — and say which colourway you want. “Modern” is dark and strong, “ancient” is lighter, “weathered” is muted. The sett is the same in each.
