Ross tartan
Clan tartan of Clan Ross.
The red Ross sett as recorded from James Grant's The Tartans and the Clans of Scotland (1886) and repeated by W & A K Johnston in 1906. The Register cautions that it may carry forward errors made by earlier illustrators such as Logan and McIan.

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

Our own Ross range is on its way: the name, the tartan and the motto on a heavyweight tee, a hoodie and a mug. About the shop.
