Lumsden tartan
Clan tartan of Clan Lumsden.
The Register says the chief, Gillem Lumsden of that Ilk, recorded this thread count in the Lyon Court Books on 12 December 2005. It carries no earlier date.

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