Moncreiffe tartan
Clan tartan of Clan Moncreiffe.
A simple green and red check. The Register says Sir Iain Moncreiffe of that Ilk recorded the thread count with the Lord Lyon in 1978, having acquired the right to use the pattern in 1974. The same sett appears as Old MacLachlan in Wilsons of Bannockburn's 1819 key pattern book, which is why the Register dates it to 1819.
Thread count
G50 R50Each letter is a colour and each number a count of threads. This sett has no pivots: it runs to the end and then repeats from the start.
Colours
- G — Green
- R — Red
Shades follow the Register's palette for this entry. Woven cloth varies by mill and by colourway.
Get the kilt
When you order a kilt, ask for the tartan by its full name — for example “Moncreiffe” — 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 Moncreiffe range is on its way: the name, the tartan and the motto on a heavyweight tee, a hoodie and a mug. About the shop.
