Strachan tartan
Clan tartan of Clan Strachan.
The Register says A G Murray designed this sett in 1987 as a personal tartan, and that it can now be regarded as for all of the name Strachan. It was woven by D C Dalgliesh.

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