The Scottish Herd kilt can be seen at "Scottish Tartans Society World Registry," under Herd,#170. This is the original Herd tartan woven for Councillor R. Herd in 1977, whose family comes from Aberdeen. This is the Herd Hunting Tartan and is in a dark blue, dark green and black with a silver(white) stripe. This was a personal tartan and is now in general use for the surname Herd. The Hunting tartan is appropriate for everyday and casual evening wear.

The Herd Dress Tartan can be seen at "Tartans of Scotland,"
under Herd,#170. This is the same tartan, just in a brighter blue, brighter green and black with a silver(white)stripe. The Dress Tartan is appropriate for formal occasions such as weddings and formal dinner/dances. Please note that color can vary from one dye lot to the next dye lot. The Herd tartan is World Registry (WR)#170, no matter what website you go to.

We have arranged a group discount for the Herd Tartan kilt at the Kirk Wynd Highland House in Kirkcaldy, until November 1, 2008, provided we have a minimum order of 10 kilts. Contact details are on their website. Please ask for Sheena, as she is handling our group order. Each kilt is 220 British Pounds, 8 yards, 13 oz., pure wool and made to measure. Ladies kilted skirts that fall just below the knee are 175 British Pounds, trews (tartan trousers) are 150 British Pounds. Other tartan items are available as well. You need to contact Sheena, arrange the payment, get the measuring chart, fill it out and send it back. This is an excellent price and we thank the Kirk Wynd Highland House for their discount.
