Ross Hunting Ancient Tartan 8-Yard Scottish Highland Kilt

Success nourishes hope in timeless style with our Ross Hunting Ancient Tartan 8 Yard Scottish Kilt—the distinguished day wear choice for Clan Ross descendants. Featuring the muted forest greens, heather browns, and weathered blacks of the Hunting Ancient palette, this traditional 8-yard kilt honors the clan motto "Success Nourishes Hope" while connecting you to the ancient heritage of Ross-shire and Balnagown.

Clan Ross: Earls of Ross

From their ancestral seat at Balnagown Castle in Easter Ross, Clan Ross rose to become one of the most powerful families in the Scottish North, once holding the earldom of Ross itself. The Hunting Ancient tartan displays their pattern in vegetable-dyed tones—softened forest greens, earthy browns, and weathered blacks that replicate the authentic appearance of tartans worn when the Rosses hunted the glens and forests of their vast Highland territories.

Hunting Ancient: Weathered Ross-shire Elegance

The Hunting sett replaces the bold Ross red with practical greens and browns suited for outdoor pursuits, while the Ancient colorway softens these tones to weathered, earthy hues. Expect gentle moss greens, peat browns, and charcoal blacks that evoke the ancient woodlands and misty mountains of Easter Ross, offering timeless elegance for field and forest.
