What are universal tartans? Simply put, these are tartans that were designed to be worn by anyone anywhere regardless of clan affiliation. Some were designed for other reasons initially, such as the beautiful Holyrood tartan which was originally created for upholstery and drapes at Holyrood castle. Others, like 'Isle of Skye', were designed out of a desire to express a certain feeling, or to honor a specific place, time or thing. There are infinite reasons why someone might design a new tartan!
While there are some common conventions, and etiquette, there is no rule that says you must only wear your clan's tartan. There is also no rule stating that you can't wear the tartan of another clan. We usually simply advise that if you wear a clan tartan that is not your own, you know the name and a little history of the clan so that you can wear it respectfully.
That said, there are plenty of so-called universal tartans you can choose from if you don't want to wear a clan tartan, or don't have a clear connection to a Scottish clan. For instance, the Black Watch tartan has a military history dating back to the 18th century and as a "government sett" it is free for anyone to wear as is the famous Royal Stewart tartan.
But what are some of the other popular and less cliché universal tartans out there? We list a few in this clip.
