About

In the original highland kilt, the fly plaid was simply the end of a long piece of tartan worn over the shoulder. This modern interpretation is no less impressive, and now rather than a practical feature, it's become impressive ceremonial accessory.

Worn over the shoulder and held in place by your choice of badge, brooch or pin, the fly plaid is an accessory designed to be imposing. The fly plaid should be worn for fully formal events like weddings, clan gatherings and graduations. This length of fabric should be in the same tartan as your kilt and to create an authentic highland look, choose a Clan Crest badge to secure your plaid.

*Please note that dimensions of the fly plaid will vary.

Where can I find more in-depth information about kilts & tartans?

Kilts and Tartan Made EasyScotweb’s MD, Dr Nicholas J Fiddes, has written a free illustrated e-book, as a gift to help kilt lovers everywhere. In simple non-technical language it covers every aspect of buying a kilt, choosing your tartan, and accessorising an outfit for every occasion.

As a Governor of the Scottish Tartans Authority, and founder of the world’s first company to market kilts on the Internet (yes, Scotweb) no one is better qualified to offer such advice. Impartial and objective, this is a personal work and is not a Scotweb publication.

Wrote... I bought this Fly Plaid to match with the other items made in the Orkney District Tartan, and what a wonderful choice, it perfectly matches and enhances the outfit as a whole. What wonderful quality and having it made in Scotland is just another benefit. So thank you Scotweb. Paul W. Weathersten J.P. "Down Under" AUSTRALIA

Wrote... This is basically a large piece of tartan cloth, with one corner sewn a bit in to form the area in which to pin the plaid brooch. The size of the plaid is shown in the picture. Due to its size, I reckon that it will make an excellent shawl for my lady if it gets chilly for her during an event. Wonderful double functionality! Bought as part of a complete outfit which was delivered a full ten days before the initial expected dispatch date.

Wrote... Received as part of a complete outfit. Again...attention to detail in its construction. Very pleased with this plaid. The picture quality is not the best, but it does show the detail work on the fringe etc.
