I am looking for a photo of the back (and front) of a kilt made in the Stewart Hunting tartan and a photo of the back and front of a kilt made up in the Scotland's National tartan.

I want to buy a tank in one or the other of these setts but would like to see what they look like made up first.

Thanks.

The name Gordon is territorial and the family who took the name are believed to have been of Anglo-Norman descent, moving from the Borders to Aberdeenshire. The wild boars head appears on the Gordon arms because, legend says, the first Gordon saved a Scottish king from an attacking boar.
The monks of St Mary at Kelso were given their land by Richard, Baron of Gordon in 1150 and 1160, the earliest recording of the name in use.
