Buchanan Hunting tartan
Hunting tartan of Clan Buchanan.
This muted brown, blue and green sett was given to the Highland Society by Sir Charles Buchanan in 1955. The Register traces its origin to the same nineteenth-century Vestiarium Scoticum material as the Fraser hunting tartan, a source whose authors are known to have blended genuine and invented setts.

Get the kilt
When you order a kilt, ask for the tartan by its full name — for example “Buchanan 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.

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