Lockhart tartan
Clan tartan of Clan Lockhart.
This is a modern sett rather than an old one. As a Lowland family, the Lockharts have no ancient tartan tradition, so the current chief had this design created in 1996 and woven in Selkirk. Its colours are said to nod to the family's historic ties to the MacDonalds of Clanranald. It was approved by the Lord Lyon and entered in the Lyon Court Books that same year, and it remains the only Lockhart tartan on the Scottish Register of Tartans.

Get the kilt
When you order a kilt, ask for the tartan by its full name — for example “Lockhart” — and say which colourway you want. “Modern” is dark and strong, “ancient” is lighter, “weathered” is muted. The sett is the same in each.
