Munro tartan
Clan tartan of Clan Munro.
This sett began life on Wilsons of Bannockburn's books as a Cameron of Lochiel pattern. Quite how it was picked up as the Munro tartan is not recorded, but it appears under the Munro name in two separate books published in 1850 and has been treated as the standard Munro sett ever since.

Get the kilt
When you order a kilt, ask for the tartan by its full name — for example “Munro” — and say which colourway you want. “Modern” is dark and strong, “ancient” is lighter, “weathered” is muted. The sett is the same in each.
