Category:	Corporate

Registration notes:	Design by Heather Yellowley of Strathmore Woollens of Forfar. Conceived in the UK in 1998 as a golf tournament to celebrate the millennium, the International Pairs is now firmly established as a major event in the diaries of thousands of golf clubs worldwide. Tens of thousands of golfers take part each year and the tournament is continuing to expand internationally with new countries becoming involved on a regular basis. The Chairman and Founder of the Tournament is Ross Honey and therefore the tartan colours have been chosen due to the connection with the Buchanan tartan (Honey being connected to Watt and subsequently to Buchanan). The golfing link can also be tied in to the colours, green being the fairways, blue the sky, white for the balls and the honey gold for Ross Honey the founder.

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.
