Guthrie tartan
Clan tartan of Clan Guthrie.
The Register says it was designed by Jack Dalgety of Forfar for Ivan Guthrie of Guthrie. It began as a personal tartan, but was accepted as a tartan for the whole name by 2002. It predates the Register itself.

Get the kilt
When you order a kilt, ask for the tartan by its full name — for example “Guthrie” — 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 Guthrie range is on its way: the name, the tartan and the motto on a heavyweight tee, a hoodie and a mug. About the shop.
