The sett
Cockburn Modern is a clan and family tartan. Clan and family tartans are traditionally worn by those of the name and their kin, though no law stops anyone wearing any tartan.
A tartan is one pattern of threads, and the same pattern comes in different depths of colour, each called a setting. Cockburn is available in two of them — Ancient and Modern — and this page is the modern one. Ancient settings run lighter, weathered ones look faded as old cloth does, and modern settings are the deepest.
The sett is recorded in four colours: Blue, Black, Green and Grey.
