Hay Hunting tartan
Hunting tartan of Clan Hay.
A hunting variant of the clan sett, with green standing in for the red and blue for the green of the main tartan, giving a quieter pattern for outdoor and informal wear. The Register does not record a date for it.

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