Turnbull Hunting (earlier version) tartan
Hunting tartan of Clan Turnbull.
The Register gives no date or designer. It says this sample draws on the Douglas and Bruce tartans and has dark red where later versions show black. It adds that this variant is no longer woven.

Get the kilt
When you order a kilt, ask for the tartan by its full name — for example “Turnbull Hunting (earlier version)” — 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.

Our own Turnbull range is on its way: the name, the tartan and the motto on a heavyweight tee, a hoodie and a mug. About the shop.
