Shades: A softened ancient palette built around weathered teal blue and muted forest green, creating a gently faded, heritage look. These colours are deepened by charcoal black and dusky red overtones, which add warmth and depth without overpowering the muted tones. Fine accents of pale stone grey introduce brightness and balance.
Design: A traditional hunting sett composed of alternating blue and green blocks, overlaid with narrow black lines that form the main structure of the grid. Subtle red stripes run throughout the pattern, soft and slightly desaturated in keeping with the ancient style. Pale grey overchecks cross the tartan at steady intervals, clearly defining the intersections and lending clarity to the darker fields. The overall geometry is consistent and symmetrical, producing a calm, wellmeasured layout.
Overall: A classic ancient hunting tartan with a natural, timeworn character. MacRae Hunting Ancient blends gently faded blues, greens and reds to create a warm, understated pattern suited to traditional Highland dress and accessories. Its softened palette and orderly structure give it a distinctive yet timeless presence.
