Authentic Clan Gunn Ancient Tartan 8-Yard Highland Kilt

Honor your Caithness heritage with our Gunn Ancient Tartan 8 Yard Scottish Kilt—an authentic Highland garment for Clan Gunn descendants and supporters. Featuring the weathered reds and muted greens of the Ancient colorway, this traditional 8-yard kilt connects you to the Norse-Scottish roots of Strathnaver while delivering the formal presence of true Highland dress.

Clan Gunn: Strathnaver Heritage

The Gunns trace their lineage to the wild coast of Caithness and Sutherland, bearing the motto "Aut Pax Aut Bellum" (Either Peace or War). The Gunn Ancient tartan displays the clan's distinctive sett in subdued historical tones—gentle burgundy reds and heathered greens that replicate the natural dyes of the Scottish north, honoring centuries of Highland tradition.

Ancient Colorway: Norse-Scottish Authenticity

The Ancient palette softens the Gunn sett with weathered, earthy hues reminiscent of the clan's 18th-century Caithness landscape. Expect gentle rust reds, muted forest greens, and soft grey accents that photograph beautifully and pair traditionally with brown leather accessories and tweed jackets.
