Clan Donald of the Isles: By Sea and By Land

As semi-independent rulers of the Western Highlands and Islands, Clan Donald maintained distinct tartans for field and forest. The "Of Isles" Hunting Ancient variant displays the clan's traditional pattern in earthy, weathered tones—deep moss greens and peat browns that blend with the island landscape while maintaining the proud MacDonald structure recognized across the Highlands.

Hunting Ancient: Day Wear Heritage

The Hunting sett replaces the scarlet reds of formal dress with practical forest greens and browns suited for outdoor pursuits. The Ancient colorway further softens these tones to weathered, vegetable-dyed hues—gentle sage greens, muted earth browns, and soft greys that replicate the appearance of tartans worn generations ago in the Hebridean mist.
