Ross (Wilsons of Bannockburn) tartan
Other sett of Clan Ross.
The Ross pattern from the 1819 Key Pattern Book of Wilsons of Bannockburn. The Register notes that it belongs to a family of more than a dozen related designs, probably sharing a mid-eighteenth-century ancestor.

Get the kilt
When you order a kilt, ask for the tartan by its full name — for example “Ross (Wilsons of Bannockburn)” — 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.
