MacPhail Hunting tartan
Hunting tartan of Clan MacPhail.
The Register takes this sett from an unmarked sample in the MacGregor-Hastie collection and suggests it dates from between 1930 and 1950. It gives no firm date for the sett.

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

Our own MacPhail range is on its way: the name, the tartan and the motto on a heavyweight tee, a hoodie and a mug. About the shop.
