Fabric & heritage

This Galloway clan traces its lineage to the ancient lords of Wigtownshire, with McCullochs serving as hereditary constables of Kirkcudbright Castle. Woven in Scotland, this 16 oz cloth holds crisp pleats through hours of dancing, marching, or celebrating. The bold tricolor design photographs brilliantly and ensures recognition across any crowded room. Dry clean only; store hanging to preserve pleat memory.

Why 8 yards?

The traditional Highlander kilt requires eight full yards of tartan—double the cloth of modern casual kilts. This creates deeper pleats, fuller swing, and the unmistakable silhouette that has defined Scottish formal wear for centuries. The bold McCulloch sett, with its striking red-green-blue contrast and Galloway heritage, ensures you'll be recognized as a McCulloch before you speak a word—wearing "Viet Animo" in every step.
