MacLaine of Lochbuie Hunting tartan
Hunting tartan of Clan MacLaine of Lochbuie.
The Register says Adam also recorded the sett in 1908 and that the hunting version first appeared in H. Whyte's work for Johnston's. It notes D. W. Stewart's 1893 remark that the heavy use of blue is unusual among old setts.

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