Lumsden Hunting tartan
Hunting tartan of Clan Lumsden.
Designed by Peter MacDonald around 1996 at the request of David Lumsden of Cushnie. The Register says it was meant as a quieter day tartan than the other Lumsden setts.

Get the kilt
When you order a kilt, ask for the tartan by its full name — for example “Lumsden 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 Lumsden range is on its way: the name, the tartan and the motto on a heavyweight tee, a hoodie and a mug. About the shop.
