The Clan Durham Tartan Kilt takes its name from Durham in North East England — the ancient city and county on the River Wear, famous for its Norman cathedral and its long border history between England and Scotland. It is a district tartan rather than a clan one, made for the people of Durham and those who carry the name, letting them wear their corner of the world in Highland form.
The sett runs on a ground of green and deep navy blue crossed by black, with fine overchecks of red and magenta threading through. The dark base gives it a handsome, understated depth, while the warm overcheck lines add just enough colour to lift it — a district tartan that wears as easily as any clan sett.
It suits weddings, gatherings and civic occasions alike. Wear it with an Argyll kilt jacket, add a leather sporran, and pull the green through with a set of kilt hose.
A district tartan for Durham, wherever the name is worn.
