Ramsay of Dalhousie tartan
Clan tartan of Clan Ramsay.
A variation on the Vestiarium sett, with black where that version has crimson. The Register gives no date, and notes that an earlier writer simply called it Ramsay.

Get the kilt
When you order a kilt, ask for the tartan by its full name — for example “Ramsay of Dalhousie” — 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.
Wear the colours
Our own Ramsay range is on its way: the name, the tartan and the motto on a heavyweight tee, a hoodie and a mug. About the shop.
