Lamont (1817 sett) tartan
Clan tartan of Clan Lamont.
The Register links this sett to a cloth sealed in the Highland Society of London collection with the seal of Lamont of Lamont, dated 9 January 1817. It notes that the sett is close to Campbell of Argyll, apart from a white line through the green, and that W and A Smith in 1850 called it the correct Lamond tartan.

Get the kilt
When you order a kilt, ask for the tartan by its full name — for example “Lamont (1817 sett)” — 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.
