A Cornish Hunting kilt

[Jock Scot]

The use of green as the dominant colour instead of yellow. Making the tartan more subdued.

Green I can understand, but I see no green. I see blue, black and white as principal colours with yellow playing a minor part on my screen.
Oh and Red(?) crossing the blue.

I believe there is green between the golden line and the blue. On my screen it looks rather blue too, but if you have a little search on a tartan register you can see that there is green in it.

I think part of the problem is that the pleating is an unusual one of alternate solid black and white lines, so there is no solid green showing on the pleats. It was done this way so that the black and white was emphasized to keep the St Pirin flag. Here is a photo of the actual tartan flat, as a flat piece, showing all the colours clearly.

Thanks, Paul. I can not figure out how to upload my own picture.

Thank you Paul. So yes, I see the reason for the word "hunting" being used to define this particular tartan from any other Cornish tartan, but "Hunting kilt"? Just wondering.

I didn't mean it was a Hunting Kilt which happened to be Cornish. I meant it was a kilt in Cornish Hunting tartan. So a Cornish-Hunting Kilt, rather than a Cornish Hunting-Kilt.
