Welcome to the Scottish Register of Tartans


Here at the Scottish Register of Tartans, our main function is the registration of new tartan designs and the policy surrounding that function.

Anyone, from anywhere in the world, can register a new tartan (individuals, schools and corporate groups as well as professional designers and weavers) providing that it meets our criteria for registration. Please see the Guidance notes for further details.

Scottish Register of Tartans Fee Review


Following a public consultation, the Keeper of the Scottish Register of Tartans recommended updating the fees to cover the costs required to deliver the service.

Scottish Ministers have accepted this recommendation and the fees for the Scottish Register of Tartans will increase on 19 January 2026.

This fee change will support the continued development of the Register, ensuring that tartan heritage is preserved for current and future generations in Scotland and around the world.

Any applications received before 19 January will be charged at the current fee rates.

From 19 January onwards, new fees will apply. For the full schedule of new fees, please visit Fees.
