Skene #2 tartan
Clan tartan of Clan Skene.
Also from the Smiths' 1850 book, which said it was worn by the late Skene of Skene. The Smiths themselves doubted its antiquity, and the Register notes that its sources disagree about a blue line on the broad green.

Get the kilt
When you order a kilt, ask for the tartan by its full name — for example “Skene #2” — 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 Skene range is on its way: the name, the tartan and the motto on a heavyweight tee, a hoodie and a mug. About the shop.
