Drummond tartan
Clan tartan of Clan Drummond.
The Scottish Register of Tartans dates this sett to 1822, when it was worn by Drummonds attending King George IV's visit to Edinburgh. Nineteenth-century tartan writers sometimes called it the Perth Drummond, to distinguish it from a separate Strathallan Drummond sett, and the trade has long treated this one as the true Drummond pattern.

Get the kilt
When you order a kilt, ask for the tartan by its full name — for example “Drummond” — 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.
