Bruce Hunting tartan
Hunting tartan of Clan Bruce.
This hunting version swaps the red and green of the main Bruce sett. The Register traces the threadcount to a sample from the weaver Coulson Bonner, labelled 'Earl of Elgin' and thought to have been woven around 1939 for a Colonel Bruce.

Shades follow the Register's palette for this entry. Woven cloth varies by mill and by colourway.
Get the kilt
When you order a kilt, ask for the tartan by its full name — for example “Bruce Hunting” — and say which colourway you want. “Modern” is dark and strong, “ancient” is lighter, “weathered” is muted. The sett is the same in each.
We are choosing retailers we trust and will list them here soon.

Our own Bruce range is on its way: the name, the tartan and the motto on a heavyweight tee, a hoodie and a mug. About the shop.
