MacFie tartan
Clan tartan of Clan MacFie.
The Register traces this red and green sett to the Clans Originaux of 1880, where it appears as McPhee, and to W. & A.K. Johnston's book of 1906. It was recorded by the Lord Lyon in 1991. The Register suggests its likeness to the Cameron tartan may reflect the MacFies' later ties to that clan.

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