Henderson tartan
Clan tartan of Clan Henderson.
This sett was first published in the Vestiarium Scoticum in 1842. The Scottish Tartans Society separately recorded both the Henderson and Davidson names against a similar pattern in 1906, and the two remain close in design.

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