Every MacDonald steps out in white for the big occasion, a bright ground crossed with red, green and navy that lightens the clan’s tartan for formal wear.
The sett runs on a white ground, with red, green and navy blocks and fine lines crossing through, a dress version built for Highland games, celebrations and traditional dance, where the pattern stays the same but the base colour lifts to white for a formal finish.
The MacDonald clan traces to Somerled, King of the Isles, through his son Ranald and grandson Donald of Islay in the 12th century. Donald founded the dynasty that grew into Scotland’s most powerful clan, ruling from strongholds on Islay and across the Hebrides, with over 40 tartans across its branches to this day.
It suits Highland Games, weddings, Burns Night, or anyone with MacDonald or Hebridean roots looking for a formal tartan. Pair it with a Prince Charlie jacket, add a dress sporran, and finish with a tartan necktie.
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.
