Starting on my first kilt

[Schultz]

Just a wee correction .....The tartan is Stuart of BUTE.

The use of this tartan is normally considered to be confined to the family from whom it derives its title, though others more or less closely related have likewise claimed an interest. Whether or not the pattern was in use before the publication of the Vestiarium Scoticum, has never been ascertained. It is often seen in maroon but the change from red does not have the approval of the Marquis of Bute. Stuarts of Bute are descended from the natural son of King Robert II. The 'hunting' version is the same sett but using a maroon shade as opposed to red / scarlet.

Ooops! I guess I did type "Bule" in!

After buying it, I did do some research on it and found that it is, more or less, confined to the family. I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to get some heavy tartan wool at that price! I do believe this is the "Hunting" version, as it's definitely maroon and not scarlet.
