Clan Johnstone: The Border Reivers

The Johnstones were among the most formidable families of the Scottish Borders, defending their Annandale lands with legendary determination. The Modern tartan displays the clan's distinctive sett in bold, contemporary tones—brilliant navy blues and vivid scarlet reds that signal the strength and pride of this historic Border family.

Modern Colorway: Bold Border Pride

The Modern palette presents the Johnstone sett in its most recognizable form—saturated, bright colors with crisp definition. Expect deep royal blues, vivid scarlet reds, and sharp forest greens with clear white accents. This striking colorway offers maximum visual impact for formal occasions and clan celebrations.
