MacAulay of Lewis tartan
Other sett of Clan MacAulay.
Designed by Dr Phil Smith in 1992 for the MacAulays of Lewis, whom the Register describes as quite separate from the Ardincaple family. It is the Hunting sett with the white and red overchecks reversed and slightly different proportions.

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 “MacAulay of Lewis” — 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 MacAulay range is on its way: the name, the tartan and the motto on a heavyweight tee, a hoodie and a mug. About the shop.
