Stewart of Appin tartan
Other sett of Clan Stewart.
Citing the Stewart Society, the Register says this was made for Stewart of Achnacone by Haggarts of Aberfeldy and later adopted as Stewart of Appin by the chief. The thread count is from D. C. Stewart's 1950 book of setts.

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 “Stewart of Appin” — and say which colourway you want. “Modern” is dark and strong, “ancient” is lighter, “weathered” is muted. The sett is the same in each.

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