The Modern Douglas Tartan is as worn by the Cameronians (Scottish Rifles), the famous Scottish lowland regiment who can trace their history from the days of the Covenanters in 1689 until their disbandment in 1968. As a lowland regiment, the Cameronians wore tartan trews (trousers) and not the highland kilt.
The Modern Douglas Tartan Ribbon has a dark blue and green undercheck, based on the Government tartan (The Black Watch) and common to most military tartans, with a white overcheck. Ancient Douglas Tartan Ribbon (brighter blue) is also available in 10mm, 16mm, 25mm and 38mm widths if you prefer.
