Ramsay (Red) tartan
Clan tartan of Clan Ramsay.
The Register dates this sett to 1842 and notes that it may be much older. It also records that an early MacGregor sett lies behind it, a link that fits with Ramsay being one of the names MacGregors took when their own was banned.

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

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.
