Turnbull Hunting tartan
Hunting tartan of Clan Turnbull.
The Register says this hunting sett combines elements of the Douglas and Bruce tartans. It records that black replaced maroon between the yellow lines in 1983, on the word of a Mr Turnbull, confirmed by Lochcarron. The date is a 20th-century one.

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