Murray of Atholl tartan
Clan tartan of Clan Murray.
The familiar Murray of Atholl sett: blue, black and green with red lines, close to the Black Watch. The Register records it from the Cockburn Collection, dates it to 1810 and notes it is also known as the Atholl district tartan. James Logan thought the red lines were added to the military sett by Lord Murray.

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