Galbraith tartan

Clan tartan of Clan Galbraith.

The Register says this sett is shared by Hunter, Galbraith, Mitchell and Russell. It appears in the Highland Society of London collection as Galbraith, and is the same as Ferguson of Balquhidder with the green stripe on blue changed to white.

Thread count

K/4 G34 K32 R4 B34 WW/4

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

  • K — Black
  • G — Green
  • R — Red
  • B — Blue
  • WW — Wilson White

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 “Galbraith” — 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.

Our own Galbraith range is on its way: the name, the tartan and the motto on a heavyweight tee, a hoodie and a mug. About the shop.
