Douglas Grey tartan
Other sett of Clan Douglas.
A grey and black sett first published in the Vestiarium Scoticum of 1842. The Register is frank that the book's authors, the Sobieski Stuart brothers, mixed romance and spurious documentation with their tartans.

Shades follow the Register's palette for this entry. Woven cloth varies by mill and by colourway.
Get the kilt
When you order a kilt, ask for the tartan by its full name — for example “Douglas Grey” — 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 Douglas range is on its way: the name, the tartan and the motto on a heavyweight tee, a hoodie and a mug. About the shop.
