Every Ross carries the colours of the northern Highlands in this tartan, muted and earthy rather than bright, built for blending into the land rather than standing out against it.
The sett runs on a deep, muted green ground, crossed with a black overcheck and fine red lines. It has the softened, weathered look typical of hunting tartans, designed to work with the moor and woodland rather than announce itself from a distance.
Clan Ross holds its roots in Ross-shire in the far north of Scotland, and this hunting sett has been associated with the clan since at least the 1830s. Hunting tartans like this one were worn for exactly the purpose the name suggests, favouring greens and browns over the brighter reds of a clan’s dress tartan so the wearer moved unseen through the hills.
It suits Highland Games, outdoor events, or anyone who prefers their tartan understated. Pair it with a Argyll jacket, add a semi-dress sporran, and finish with kilt hose.
Woven in tartan wool blend as a 5-yard kilt, or 8-yard for deeper pleating and heavier drape. Knife-pleated at the back with a flat front apron, fastened with leather straps and metal buckles. Made to your measurements, so send your waist and length and it is cut to fit.
