MacArthur of Milton Hunting tartan
Hunting tartan of Clan MacArthur.
The Register says this sett links the MacArthur and Campbell tartans, and that its thread count was amended to match a woollen sample in a pattern book of about 1830.
Thread count

Shades follow the Register's palette for this entry. Woven cloth varies by mill and by colourway.
Get the kilt
When you order a kilt, ask for the tartan by its full name — for example “MacArthur of Milton 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 MacArthur range is on its way: the name, the tartan and the motto on a heavyweight tee, a hoodie and a mug. About the shop.
