Robertson Hunting Ancient Tartan 8-Yard Scottish Highland Kilt

Embrace the glory of valor with our Robertson Hunting Ancient Tartan 8 Yard Scottish Kilt—the distinguished day wear choice for Clan Robertson (Donnchaidh) descendants. Featuring the muted forest greens, heather browns, and weathered reds of the Hunting Ancient palette, this traditional 8-yard kilt honors the clan motto "Virtutis Gloria Merces" (Glory is the Reward of Valour) while connecting you to the Atholl heritage of Perthshire.

Clan Robertson: Glory Through Valor

Known as Clan Donnachaidh (Children of Duncan), the Robertsons of Atholl take their name from the 4th Earl's son who claimed the lives of the assassins of James I. The Hunting Ancient tartan displays their pattern in vegetable-dyed tones—softened forest greens, earthy browns, and rust-faded reds that replicate the authentic appearance of tartans worn when Robertsons hunted the glens of Perthshire.

Hunting Ancient: Weathered Atholl Elegance

The Hunting sett replaces the bold Robertson red with practical greens and browns suited for field and forest, while the Ancient colorway softens these tones to weathered, earthy hues. Expect gentle moss greens, peat browns, and muted crimson accents that evoke the misty mountains and ancient pine woods surrounding the Robertson homelands.
