    To me 'Cameron Hunting' would be the Cameron of Eracht tartan (the army one). Lochcarron's weathered colours reproduce green as brown, which I personally dislike. A much better option is House of Edgars muted shades, where green is reproduced as a beautiful moss green. I think HoE only produce this colour scheme in medium weight, although you may find that Marton Mills do it in their heavyweight Jura range. It is a beautiful tartan, especially when pleated to the stripe.
    Just looked on the Lochcarron website and they do produce a Cameron Hunting tartan. I read in a book once that 'Camerons take the Cameron of Erracht as their hunting tartan', just shows how much I know.

    My nephew has the dress tartan,and it iis onlyMW. I have Erracht and though not officially adopted by the clan in old photos you will see it worn,and its a fairly cheap cloth. Tried to get a Cameron in Ancient,but no one had an immediate supply and sod waiting got hunting weathered instead,again not an official tartan.
