This tartan cannot be offered for sale, woven or produced in any commercial form without the express permission of the appointed officer of the copyright holder the Mey Highland Games


Registration notes: The official Chieftain of the Mey Highland Games is HRH Prince Charles and this design is based on the Rothesay Hunting tartan – one of the tartans worn by the Prince when in Scotland where his title is the Duke of Rothesay. The light blue blocks comprise 50 threads to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Games which were founded in 1970 at the suggestion of HM Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother whose much-loved Scottish home was the nearby Castle of Mey. In her memory, the castle stonework is represented by the rust coloured marl. The Mey Games were the first ever to inaugurate Highland events for para athletes and wounded armed forces from around the world – here represented on behalf of all such organisations by the navy blue, air force blue and red of the Help for Heroes charity.
