Urquhart, Brydone tartan
Other sett of Clan Urquhart.
This sett was recorded by John MacGregor Hastie, who attributed it to James Brydone and dated it to 1862. Despite carrying the Urquhart name in the Register, its documented origin lies with the Brydone family rather than with the clan's own chiefly line.

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