Every Buchanan wears bold on purpose, a dark green and black ground broken by wide bands of gold, crossed with red and fine white lines.
The sett runs on a dark green and black ground, with broad yellow/gold blocks, warm red stripes, and thin white lines threaded through. The pattern is famously asymmetric, an unusual feature for its era, and it gives the Buchanan tartan a restless, unmistakable look among Scottish setts.
Clan Buchanan takes its name and roots from the shores of Loch Lomond, where the family held lands for centuries. Tartan cloth existed long before clan names were pinned to specific patterns in the early 19th century, but once the Buchanan sett was recorded, its striking gold and red became one of the most recognised in the Highlands.
It suits Highland Games, weddings, Burns Night, or anyone with Buchanan or Loch Lomond roots. Pair it with a dress sporran, add a leather belt, and finish with a tartan flash.
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.
