Sinclair Hunting tartan
Hunting tartan of Clan Sinclair.
The green hunting Sinclair, with black and blue bands and fine red and white lines, recorded from a Lochcarron swatch. The Register is sceptical of the popular story that Sinclairs wore a green tartan at Flodden in 1513, noting that no source is given for it.

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