Ferguson of Balquhidder tartan
Other sett of Clan Ferguson.
A darker sett of blue, black and green with a red line, based on the count James Logan published in 1831. D. C. Stewart named it Ferguson of Balquhidder to tell it apart from the Atholl sett. The Register notes that the green stripe on the broad blue is now often woven in black.

Get the kilt
When you order a kilt, ask for the tartan by its full name — for example “Ferguson of Balquhidder” — and say which colourway you want. “Modern” is dark and strong, “ancient” is lighter, “weathered” is muted. The sett is the same in each.
