MacTavish Hunting tartan
Hunting tartan of Clan MacTavish.
Also designed for Lord Thomson of Fleet and approved in 1958, from a Moy Hall sample of the mid 19th century. The Register says it suits MacTavishes and Thompsons who claim descent from the Mackintoshes.

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