MacGregor of Glengyle tartan
Other sett of Clan MacGregor.
A two-colour sett linked to the Glengyle branch and to the MacGregors of Deeside, with a specimen believed to date from about 1750. The chief's family holds a red and black version; why the old specimen is red and blue is, in the chief's own words, a mystery.

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