Burnett Hunting tartan
Hunting tartan of Clan Burnett.
The Register says this is a sample sent by Burnett of Leys in 1988. It differs only slightly in colour from the usual Burnett of Leys sett, with dark ruby in place of most of the red.

Get the kilt
When you order a kilt, ask for the tartan by its full name — for example “Burnett 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.
Wear the colours
Our own Burnett range is on its way: the name, the tartan and the motto on a heavyweight tee, a hoodie and a mug. About the shop.
