Lumsden of Clova tartan
Other sett of Clan Lumsden.
The Register says the thread count was supplied to the Scottish Tartans Society by Alex Lumsden of Toronto, and that it has been halved to show more of the sett. It is recorded as 1975.

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