MacMillan tartan
Clan tartan of Clan MacMillan.
The Register notes that this sett's 'ancient' form differs from the modern MacMillan tartans by more than the usual softening of colour, which is unusual enough to justify the name. It is generally treated as the clan's principal tartan.

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