About this tartan

By clan tradition the Hunters came to Scotland at David I's invitation in the 12th century and received Hunterston in Ayrshire. The family's oldest surviving charter, from Robert II, dates from 1374. That charter granted the neighbouring lands of Ardneil for a token rent of one silver penny, payable at Whitsun, and silver pennies from the reigns of Robert II and George V are still kept at Hunterston in case the sovereign should ever claim the rent
