Hannay Blue tartan
Other sett of Clan Hannay.
A variant made in 2005 for a customer in Balquhidder. The Register says it swaps the white of the main sett for a muted pale blue. It describes the main Hannay sett as long established in south-west Scotland, from an old kilt worn by Commander Alex Hannay (1788 to 1844).

Get the kilt
When you order a kilt, ask for the tartan by its full name — for example “Hannay Blue” — and say which colourway you want. “Modern” is dark and strong, “ancient” is lighter, “weathered” is muted. The sett is the same in each.

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