Drummond Ancient tartan
Other sett of Clan Drummond.
This sett comes from the MacGregor-Hastie collection, later absorbed into the Scottish Tartans Society's archive. Like many samples in that collection, it was recorded without a date or a clear source, so its age and origin are not established.

Get the kilt
When you order a kilt, ask for the tartan by its full name — for example “Drummond Ancient” — 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 Drummond range is on its way: the name, the tartan and the motto on a heavyweight tee, a hoodie and a mug. About the shop.
