Skene of Cromar tartan
Clan tartan of Clan Skene.
Registered in 2002. The Register notes say the thread count follows Coulson Bonnar's original rather than Dalgliesh's later one.
Thread count
K8 R74 B74 R4 B74 G74 R74 K8 R74 G74 B74 R4 B74 R74Each 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.
Colours
- K — Black
- R — Red
- B — Blue
- G — Green
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 “Skene of Cromar” — 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.
