Registration notes:	Designed in 2006 by Joseph Ryan Morrison, member of the planning committee for the first annual Tartan Day celebration in Alabama which will take place in Birmingham in April 2007. The five white stripes represent the region's first flag - the Bonnie Blue Flag which comprised a white, five pointed star on a blue background which was later adopted by Texas (the 'Lone Star State') and which became an unofficial flag of the Confederate States of America. The azure is for the State's clear blue skies, the navy the splendour of the Gulf waters and the grey the state's Confederate heritage while the combination of crimson, white and blue celebrates the State's inclusion in the Union. The bright crimson stripe flanked by the white represents the official State flag - the crimson saltire.

Please note

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 new SRT reference number can be found in the address box on your browser (url).

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. You may wish to refer to the STA website for further information on the original recording of this tartan.
