Elliot tartan

Clan tartan of Clan Elliot.

The only tartan currently registered for the Elliot name. It is unrestricted, so anyone with a connection to the clan may wear it. Its maroon-and-blue colouring is unusual among traditional tartans.

Thread count

M/6 B18 T24 B88 T24 B/18

Each letter is a colour and each number a count of threads. The slashes mark the pivots: the pattern runs to the end, then reverses back on itself.

Colours

  • M — Marroon
  • B — Blue
  • T — Brown

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 “Elliot” — 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.
