Registration notes:	Mount Vernon Primary School p6/7 pupils carried out an enterprise project to design and create a Mount Vernon 'Scottish-themed' calendar for 2011. Sales of the calendar raised £1200, destined for school funds and also to allow the pupils to design and register a Mount Vernon Primary School tartan. The school participates in numerous Scottish occasions, including Burns Suppers and poetry recitals, St Andrew’s day assemblies and ceilidh dancing competitions. The school will benefit from having its very own tartan which can be worn and used at these various occasions. The tartan will be woven and used to make ties, sashes, rosettes and table runners for the school. The final design reflects the children's research into the history of Mount Vernon which was an important town for the tobacco trade, originally called ‘Windy Edge’ and renamed Mount Vernon in honour of Admiral Edward Vernon of the Royal Navy. Colours: light blue is from the school polo shirts and the red is from the school badge; the black and white stripes recall Mount Vernon's link to the tobacco industry: the navy band symbolises the link to Admiral Edward Vernon.
Information notes:	To view woven sample, please request NAS6/O6/Object.
Woven Sample:	A woven sample of this tartan has been received by the Scottish Register of Tartans for permanent preservation in the National Records of Scotland.
