MacPherson hunting tartan

[creagdhubh]

One of my favorite tartans, very striking in its simplicity and the uncommon and prominent grey element. It works beautifully for box pleats! (That's a fine job of tapering in the pleats along the narrow blue stripes.)

The grey in the tartan was actually white at one point during the clan's history, and this has indeed been confirmed by Cluny, as well as Clan Macpherson historians. I would love to have a custom run of this tartan woven by D.C. Dalgliesh, and probably will make that happen some time in the future. You hardly see this style of sett any longer - usually only in some of Cluny's old kilts, and those worn by the older, native Scottish Clan Macpherson Association members.
