Clan Dress Laing Tartan Kilt

Laing is a name with deep Scottish roots, and this Dress version of the tartan carries a brighter, more formal palette than most everyday setts.

The sett runs on a vivid royal blue ground blocked with black, crossed by fine lines of yellow, white and red. It is a lively, confident tartan, well suited to occasions that call for a splash of colour.

The Laing name traces back to the Old Norse “Langr”, meaning long or tall, reflecting Scotland’s Norse heritage in the north. Laings appear in Scottish records from as early as the 14th century, among them Thomas Laing, who helped raise the ransom for King David II after Neville’s Cross, and later generations who served as burgesses, notaries and clergy in Edinburgh and Fife.

The Dress colouring suits weddings, formal Highland dress and any occasion where the Laing name deserves to be seen clearly. Wear it with a Prince Charlie jacket, add a dress sporran, and finish with a kilt brooch.

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.
