MacLean of Duart Hunting tartan
Hunting tartan of Clan MacLean.
A green sett with black and a fine white line, from the Vestiarium Scoticum of 1842. A 1587 charter asking for cloth of white, black and green is sometimes cited as its origin, but the Register records the tartan historian Jamie Scarlett's view that there is no evidence for that claim.

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