Ramsay Blue Hunting tartan
Hunting tartan of Clan Ramsay.
Recognised as the hunting sett, with blue standing in for the red of the main tartan. The Register traces the sample to a mid-twentieth-century collection and gives a date of 1950, and quotes a view that blue dyes were widely used in the Lowlands.

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