MacGregor tartan
Clan tartan of Clan MacGregor.
The red and green MacGregor. The Register quotes the chief's note that it appears in the Cockburn Collection of the 1810s, was listed by Wilsons of Bannockburn as 'MacGregor Murray', and was worn by the commander of the MacGregor guard during the King's visit to Edinburgh in 1822.

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