Every MacLaren carries a touch of royalty in its cloth, a navy and green ground crossed with gold and red lines gifted for a king’s visit.
The sett runs on a navy and green ground, with fine yellow/gold lines and red accents threaded through. The gold and red are no accident: as descendants of the Earls of Strathearn, the MacLarens are entitled to the royal colours in their tartan, a mark of the clan’s regal connection.
The MacLaren tartan traces to the Regency era, registered by Wilsons of Bannockburn and linked to the visit of King George IV to Edinburgh in 1822. The Earls of Strathearn were counted among the historic “7 Earls of Scotland,” peers of the king in their own right.
It suits Highland Games, weddings, Burns Night, or anyone with MacLaren or Strathearn roots. Pair it with a Prince Charlie jacket, add a dress sporran, and finish with a kilt pin.
Woven in tartan wool blend as a 5-yard kilt, or 8-yard for deeper pleating and heavier drape. Knife-pleated at the back with a flat front apron, fastened with leather straps and metal buckles. Made to your measurements, so send your waist and length and it is cut to fit.
