MacEwen tartan
Clan tartan of Clan MacEwen.
The Register says this sett looks like Campbell of Loudoun, apart from the red stripe. It links the two through the 1432 annexation of the Otter lands to Campbell territory, and draws on Johnston's 1906 book on clan and sept tartans.

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

Our own MacEwen range is on its way: the name, the tartan and the motto on a heavyweight tee, a hoodie and a mug. About the shop.
