Every MacDougall knows this pattern at a glance. This is the Modern sett, bright and formal, dyed the way most people picture the name.
The tartan sits on a bold red ground blocked with black, crossed by fine white and navy lines. It is a striking, confident tartan, close in feeling to Royal Stewart but distinctly its own.
Clan MacDougall descends from Dougall, son of Somerled, the 12th century Lord of the Isles who drove the Norse from the western seaboard. The MacDougalls held Dunollie Castle near Oban and were once Lords of Lorn and Argyll in their own right, one of the oldest recorded clans in Scotland.
The Modern red suits weddings, formal Highland dress and Highland Games alike. Wear it with a Prince Charlie jacket, add a dress sporran, and finish with a set of kilt hose.
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.

This Clan Macdougall Modern Tartan Kilt is by far the best kilt I’ve purchased. Authentic look, comfortable fit, and clearly made with care and tradition in mind.
