When my dad died 34 years ago he left me his kilt. I have worn it to family weddings but not for quite a few years. My son gets married here in the Scottish Highlands in July and we are all wearing our kilts. I realise that I have forgotten which tartan my kilt is. I have tried various web sites to identify it but can see nothing similar. Perhaps someone on this site can help.

To my inexpert eye, it looks like Stewart of Appin Hunting tartan, in 'ancient' colours.

The colours are exceptionally soft and lovely, much nicer that the versions I've seen by the modern major weavers.

It is definitely Ancient Hunting Stuart of Appin. I have a kilt made of this; it was originally my grandfather's.
