Universal setts can be worn by anyone. They open up a broader selection of tartans that can be worn.
These tartans can be worn by anyone, Scots or not, of a clan or not ~ to enable anyone with an interest in Scotland to don a tartan. They also allow anyone who is unsure of their Scottish clan heritage to still wear a tartan with no reprisals from anyone…unless it’s discovered you are actually part of a clan. Then try explaining to the most adamant why you’re not wearing ‘their’ tartan.
Some of these tartans are labeled universal, others aren’t, but fall into the universal category.
You can wear any of these Universal setts. Black Watch and Flower of Scotland are available from most kilt rental agencies.

Wild Geese 3073 A universal commemorative tartan to honor the Irishmen who lived in France as mercenary soldiers as the result of the religious intolerance in the eighteen and nineteenth centuries. The design merges the Green, White and Gold of the Irish Tricolour with the Red, White and Blue of the French flag. The Black running through is to remember those who lost their lives.
