    Gunn Muted Tartan Kilt

    Does anyone have pictures of a Gunn tartan kilt in muted colours actually being worn? And if so can they post them?

    I think I found one... looks like the Clan Chief wears the muted. At least I think his kilt is in muted colours. Can anyone confirm this?

    I would have called the Chief's tartan "ancient" but we are into a terminology minefield here

    You are not wrong about the minefield...lol but looking at the photo below it looks like the Chief wears muted.

    I use the word muted as used by House of Edgar against a swatch of their tartan. Im going to buy some Gunn muted but wanted to see what it looked like when compared against the ancient when made into a kilt. I have managed to find a member of the clan society who obliged with the following photo.

    Ancient on the left and muted on the right

    I'd agree that the chief, in that picture, has on the Gunn MUTED Tartan from HOE. Specifically, look at the green color. In Muted tartans, it's much more on the 'olive green' side of the scale.
