Cunningham Hunting

[SlyBacon]

Hi,

I’m looking at buying a kilt for my wedding later this year and I like the look of the Cunningham Hunting Tartan. https://www.tartanregister.gov.uk/tartanDetails?ref=850

However, I have an issue with the colours. I think I would prefer the kilt in modern colours but I’ve found that I can’t get a swatch as it’s not commonly woven by the mills and I’m not prepared to risk buying it and finding I don’t like it. I have a swatch in the ancient colours but I am not so keen on the washed out look of that.

I realise this is a long shot but my question is does anyone have a kilt of the Cunningham Hunting tartan in modern colours? If so, can you share a picture of it to give me an idea of what it looks like?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Scott

As this tartan is also known as Nicolson/MacNicol Hunting, you might look for it under those names too.

I have never seen the version of the Hunting Cunningham/Nicolson shown in your link, but I do have the weathered variation of it, which appears to be still available from Lochcarron.
I bought fabric in this tartan from Lochcarron at Selkirk, Scotland a number of years ago and sent it to Lady Chrystel in France, who created a box pleated kilt for me.
Here is a lionk to the tartan on Lochcarron site.
