MacIntyre (of Gatehouse) tartan
Other sett of Clan MacIntyre.
Named for MacIntyre of Gatehouse, Inveraray, for whom the Edinburgh firm Meyer and Mortimer made it. W and A Smith printed it in 1859 and admitted they found it hard to get any authoritative MacIntyre sett. It differs from the one recorded by the Lord Lyon but is the version most often woven today.

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