Seton tartan

Clan tartan of Clan Seton.

The Register cites the Scottish Tartans Society (Innes No 102) and says the Setons had early links with the House of Gordon. It also points to Vestiarium Scoticum plate 55.

Each letter is a colour and each number a count of threads. This sett has no pivots: it runs to the end and then repeats from the start.

Shades follow the Register's palette for this entry. Woven cloth varies by mill and by colourway.

Get the kilt

When you order a kilt, ask for the tartan by its full name — for example “Seton” — 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 Seton range is on its way: the name, the tartan and the motto on a heavyweight tee, a hoodie and a mug. About the shop.
