County Down lies on the east coast of Ulster, home to the Mourne Mountains and the burial place traditionally linked to Saint Patrick. Its county tartan lets anyone with Down roots wear the place in Highland dress.
The sett runs a warm rust-orange ground crossed with black and picked out with fine blue and purple lines. The earthy orange sets it apart from the greener Irish county tartans.
It suits weddings, St Patrick’s celebrations, and any gathering of the Irish diaspora. Wear it with a ghillie shirt and a leather sporran, finished with a set of kilt hose.
A county tartan for Down, wherever the name is worn.
