Chisholm Hunting tartan
Hunting tartan of Clan Chisholm.
The Register suggests this may be the true source of the sett published in the Vestiarium Scoticum, with the crimson changed to red. The Highland Society of London collection, now in the National Museum in Edinburgh, holds a related sample.

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