Livingstone #2 tartan
Clan tartan of Clan Livingstone.
A close variant of the first sett, with black rather than green lines between the green bands. The Register quotes D.C. Stewart, who noted in 1950 that it does not look like the tartan of any clan the Livingstones were linked with, though it resembles a MacDonell of Keppoch sett.

Shades follow the Register's palette for this entry. Woven cloth varies by mill and by colourway.
Get the kilt
When you order a kilt, ask for the tartan by its full name — for example “Livingstone #2” — 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.
Wear the colours
Our own Livingstone range is on its way: the name, the tartan and the motto on a heavyweight tee, a hoodie and a mug. About the shop.
