Sample in Scottish Tartans Authority's Johnston Collection. An original cutting shows the grey to be 'speckled' - a mixture of grey and black a little like the Balmoral grey. The grey represents the granite, the blue the River Dee and the two mountain ranges (Cairngorms and Grampians); green is for the forests, white the birch trunks and snow, yellow the broom and gorse and purple is for the heathers and the Celtic dynasties 'and their present day successors, the House of Windsor' (Britain's Royal Family).

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.
