Kilt in Gunn modern/ancient

[saxandpipes]

If you're having a difficult time finding good photos of Gunn (ancient colours), just Google "flower of scotland kilt" and you'll see dozens of great photos.

Flower of Scotland is identical to Gunn (ancient) except for a single red line which has been moved from one place to another. I used to play in a pipe band which wore Flower Of Scotland tartan and a few times when we ordered kilts for new members they would come in Gunn ancient by mistake (the tartans are that similar).

For several years Flower of Scotland was the most popular Kilt Hire tartan in Scotland. It has lovely pastel greens and blues.

Here's the Misty Isle Pipe Band as they appeared in 2004 in their Flower of Scotland kilts.



Move that red line in the blue area over to the green area and Bob's your uncle.

to give a direct comparison, here is my Gunn ancient:





personally, I think its a beautiful tartan, maybe biased... slightly less pastel than Flower of Scotland (of course will depend somewhat on the mill) I believe the fabric in mine is from Heather Mills in Selkirk. (Kilt made by Hector Russell)

Hope this helps,

Cheers,
