Inspired by the Jubilee year, the Tartan was chosen and approved by Her
Majesty The Queen and commemorates the 70 years of her reign. The last
time a new tartan was speci.cally approved by the Royal Family was when a
tartan was designed for King George VI (Green Stewart).
The Tartan has been designed by the Kinloch Anderson company, Tailors
and Kiltmakers to the Royal Family since 1903, cooperating with the Royal
Warrant Holders Association, and the Association member companies.
Sales of product using the tartan will also bene.t the RWHA Charity Fund.
The ‘sett’ or pattern is based on the King George VI (Green Stewart) and
also re.ects the historical connection with the Stewart tartans.
There are seven colours to re.ect the seven decades of Her Majesty’s reign.
The colours include platinum grey, the green and black of the King George
VI tartan, red, white and blue for the United Kingdom, and gold to represent
the Crown. |
