Chisholm Hunting tartan
Hunting tartan of Clan Chisholm.
A subdued version of the tartan with a brown ground in place of red. The Register notes that Victorian makers often toned down the bright aniline dyes of the 1860s this way. The count comes from a woven sample in the Scottish Tartans Authority's collection.

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