Burns is a name that carries weight in Scotland, and this tartan wears it twice over: it is the family sett of the Burnses and the tartan tied to Robert Burns, the national bard himself.
The pattern is built on a warm red ground, blocked with green and crossed by fine lines of gold and blue. It is bright and lively, the kind of red that stands out in a hall on a winter night.
Robert Burns was born in Alloway in Ayrshire in 1759 and became Scotland’s best-loved poet, the man behind “Auld Lang Syne” and the “Address to a Haggis”. Every 25 January his life is marked with a Burns Supper, and this is the tartan many reach for when they sit down to the haggis, the whisky and the recitation.
Beyond Burns Night it suits weddings, ceilidhs and Highland Games just as well. Wear it with an Argyll kilt jacket, add a leather sporran, and hold it with a leather kilt belt.
Woven in tartan wool blend as a 5-yard kilt, or 8-yard for deeper pleating and a 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.
