Scott tartan
Clan tartan of Clan Scott.
The red Scott, and the most popular Scott tartan today. The Register traces it to 1829, when Sir Thomas Dick Lauder told Sir Walter Scott he had seen it in a manuscript prepared for the Sobieski Stuart brothers. Scott rejected the idea firmly. The sett has been noted to resemble the MacGregor tartan of 1819.

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