Hunter of Peebleshire tartan
District tartan of Clan Hunter.
The Register says this was worn by Hunters of Peebleshire, with an older note naming Ayrshire, Angus and Renfrewshire too. It was once called 'Old Hunter', and the Hunter of Hunterston chief told the Lord Lyon in 1990 that it was often confused with the newer clan sett. The 2002 date is the Register's, and the sett's real age is unclear.

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