Robertson Hunting tartan
Hunting tartan of Clan Robertson.
A dark blue and green sett with a white line. The Register says the chief sealed it as the true clan tartan in 1816 for the Highland Society of London, and that it is thought to be the sett worn by the Loyal Clan Donnachie Volunteers raised in 1803.

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