Wishart Dress tartan

Dress tartan of Clan Wishart.

A red, blue and yellow sett recorded in 1990. The Register says it blends the Wallace and Douglas tartans into a new design, the Douglas side recalling a Wishart marriage to a daughter of the 9th Earl of Angus.

Each 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.

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 “Wishart Dress” — 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 Wishart range is on its way: the name, the tartan and the motto on a heavyweight tee, a hoodie and a mug. About the shop.
