Did you know your clan likely had two tartans?
While the bold dress tartan was for ceremonies and gatherings, many Scottish clans — Fraser, Cameron, Hunter and others — developed quieter "hunting tartans" in muted greens and browns. These earthy patterns helped clansmen blend into the heather and forest during the stalk, a practical piece of heritage rooted in Scotland's landscape and working life.
At Scotcrest, we research and verify the correct tartan for every commission — whether dress or hunting — because getting your family's pattern right matters. If your clan has a hunting tartan, we'd love to craft your crest on the tartan your ancestors wore in the hills. Handmade in Port Glasgow, delivered worldwide.
