Livingstone Dress tartan
Dress tartan of Clan Livingstone.
The Register says this dress sett came from W J A Livingstone of Bachuil. It also records a claim that it was held by a Canadian whose grandparents lived in the early nineteenth century, so its age is uncertain.

Get the kilt
When you order a kilt, ask for the tartan by its full name — for example “Livingstone 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.
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.
