Authentic Clan Kerr Modern Tartan 8-Yard Highland Kilt

Arrive in earnest with distinction in our Clan Kerr Tartan 8 Yard Scottish Kilt—the definitive formal choice for descendants of the Liddesdale Border Reivers. Featuring the bold scarlet red, forest green, and sharp black of the Modern sett, this traditional 8-yard kilt commands respect at Highland gatherings while honoring the clan motto "Sero Sed Serio" (Late but in Earnest).

Clan Kerr: The Left-Handed Borderers

The Kerrs were among the most formidable of the Border Reiver families, building strongholds at Ferniehirst and Cessford and famously favoring their left hands in combat. The Modern tartan displays the clan's traditional sett in vivid, saturated colors—brilliant scarlet red balanced by deep forest green and sharp black lines that signal the strength of this historic Scottish family.

The Modern Colorway: Bold Border Pride

The Modern palette presents the Kerr sett in its most recognizable and formal state. Expect vivid scarlet reds forming the base, crossed by emerald green and jet black bands with crisp white accents. This striking colorway offers maximum visual impact for evening events, formal weddings, and official clan occasions where Kerr heritage takes center stage.
