This tartan is based on the California State tartan, birthplace of The Red Thistle Dancers. Colours: parchment for the Scroll of Honour awarded to the Directors of The Red Thistle Dancers by the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society; deep and bright reds and crimsons for the various California red thistle native species (Cirsium occidentale and Cirsium arizonicum); orange & white for the thistledown of the flower as it transitions to its mature stage and grey for the level of achievement represented by all members of The Red Thistle Dancers and Musicians past and present.
