Ramsay Blue Hunting Tartan 8 Yard Kilt for Men

The Ramsay Blue Hunting Kilt — Loyalty, Strength & Highland Honour

The Ramsay Blue Hunting Tartan 8 Yard Kilt is a beautifully crafted celebration of one of Scotland’s oldest and most distinguished Lowland clans — rooted in the Lothian lands granted to Simon de Ramsay in 1124. Registered under the Scottish Tartans Society, the Ramsay Blue Hunting tartan was designed by Harry Lindley for Kinloch Anderson Limited, where blue dyes replaced the traditional red — giving rise to a now-recognised Hunting tartan whose muted blues evoke the rolling hills and rugged landscapes of Scotland’s south-western regions. Furthermore, the Ramsay Blue Hunting tartan features a deep blue and green colour scheme, traditionally worn for hunting purposes — with its darker hues providing a more subdued and earthy appeal, making it a favoured choice for outdoor and casual wear.

At Clans Attire, our Ramsay Blue Hunting Tartan 8 Yard Kilt is handcrafted by our family of skilled artisans in Sialkot — custom made to your exact waist measurement, with deep traditional knife pleats, three genuine leather straps, and pewter silver buckles. As a result, you receive a genuine handcrafted Highland kilt worthy of the Ramsay clan’s proud legacy of loyalty and service.

About Clan Ramsay & Their Blue Hunting Tartan

Clan Ramsay is one of Scotland’s older clans, with the name first documented in 1124 when Simon de Ramsay travelled north with the Earl of Huntingdon and was granted lands in Lothian. Over centuries the clan spread throughout Scotland, producing distinguished warriors, knights, and statesmen. In particular, Sir Alexander Ramsay of Dalhousie became a renowned knight of the fourteenth century for raising the siege of Dunbar in 1338 and orchestrating sneak attacks against the English — a man of extraordinary courage whose legacy lives on in the clan’s enduring motto.

The Ramsay clan motto “Ora Et Labora” — Pray and Labour — perfectly captures the Ramsay spirit of spiritual devotion combined with tireless practical endeavour. Consequently, the Ramsay Blue tartan’s colours carry deliberate meaning — blue signifying loyalty to the Scottish Crown, black symbolising strength, and white representing purity. Moreover, with permission from the Scottish Tartans Authority, this tartan is also proudly worn by The Pilgrim Bandits charity, symbolising unity and community spirit.

Blue Hunting vs Red Ramsay — What Is the Difference?

The Ramsay clan has two main tartan variations — the traditional Ramsay Modern and Ancient tartans in red and black, and the Blue Ramsay variation in blue and black. In particular, the Blue Hunting colourway was specifically designed for outdoor wear — its darker, more muted palette blending with the Scottish Highland landscape in the same way a hunting tartan should. Additionally, the blue colourway has become enormously popular among Ramsay descendants who prefer a more contemporary, versatile tartan suitable for both outdoor Highland events and formal occasions.

The Tartan’s Colours & Their Meaning

• Deep Blue — loyalty to the Scottish Crown and the waters of Lothian, the Ramsay ancestral homeland
• Green — the rolling hills and rugged landscapes of Scotland’s south-western Lowlands
• Black — strength, resilience, and the warrior spirit of Clan Ramsay
• White accents — purity, honour, and the Ramsay motto’s call to righteous living
