Hay, White Dress tartan
Dress tartan of Clan Hay.
A white-ground dress version of the Hay tartan, taken from a cloth sample in the collection that formed the Scottish Tartans Society archive and probably woven sometime between the 1930s and 1950. Light-ground dress tartans of this kind were traditionally favoured for women's Highland dress.

Get the kilt
When you order a kilt, ask for the tartan by its full name — for example “Hay, White Dress” — 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.
