Stewart Hunting tartan
Hunting tartan of Clan Stewart.
First recorded in the pattern books of Wilsons of Bannockburn and not published until 1886. The Register notes that the sett is unusual: it repeats across the cloth rather than reversing to form a symmetrical square.

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