Dundas (Vestiarium) tartan
Other sett of Clan Dundas.
The Register traces this design to the Vestiarium Scoticum of 1842, a source whose tartans are not backed by earlier evidence. It links the sett to Henry Dundas, who, the note says, introduced a bill in 1784 restoring forfeited estates.

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