Grant (Official) tartan
Clan tartan of Clan Grant.
A brighter red sett recorded in the Lyon Court's register in 1946. The Register states that Lord Strathspey, the chief, confirmed this as his preferred clan tartan, following the plate in James Grant's 'The Tartans of the Clans of Scotland' of 1886.

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