Dundas (Red) tartan
Other sett of Clan Dundas.
The Register says this sample comes from the MacGregor-Hastie collection, which forms the basis of the Scottish Tartans Society's cloth archive. It was unmarked, and the Register assumes it dates from between 1930 and 1950.

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