Designed specially for the 'Mullennium', the true rock colours create a tartan 'map' of Mull and Iona's 2800 million year history. The Isle of Iona is represented by green and white for its famous green and white marble. Navy blue surrounds, representing the sea dividing Iona from Mull. The Isle of Mull is embodied by five colours representing a cross section from Fionnphort in the west through to Glen More at Mull's centre. Starting with the beautiful pink Caledonian Ross of Mull granite, grey follows for the Moine schist's at Bunessan and the Jurassic shale's at Carsaig. Black represents the Tertiary basalt lava flows which overlie Mull's ancient basement rocks Yellow depicts Mull's unique ring dyke, finally dark green represents dolerites and gabbros found in Mull's mountainous heart The Isle of Mull Tartan raises funds for Isle of Mull charity projects. Isle of Mull tartan is sold at the Earth Galleries, Natural History Museum, London.' From Ros Jones' website www.celtictartans.com.

Where tartans were recorded before the establishment of the Scottish Register of Tartans (SRT) on 5 February 2009, the original Scottish Tartans Authority (STA) and the Scottish Tartans World Register (STWR) reference numbers have been retained.

The registration criteria now applied by the Register conforms to the Scottish Register of Tartans Act 2008. These criteria are different to those previously applied by either the STA or the STWR.
