Important point to note
Tartans registered since the Scottish Register of Tartans commenced registering tartans in February 2009, meet the criteria for registration set out in the Scottish Register of Tartans Act 2008. Tartans recorded by the Scottish Tartans Society, the Scottish Tartans Authority or the Scottish Tartans World Register prior to February 2009 will have been recorded under different criteria. Please refer to the Guidance notes for further details of the current criteria for registration.
