It is the oldest Scottish charity operating outside Scotland and was granted a royal charter in 1665. Anyone born in Scotland, or married to a Scot, or with a Scots-born parent, or the widow of a spouse born in Scotland and who lives within 35 miles of Charing Cross in London is eligible for help, irrespective of religion, colour, age, gender, sexual orientation or personal history.

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.
