As a gift for the many journalists, from most European countries, a special Digital tartan was designed by Scottish experts, Geoffrey (Tailor) Highland Crafts, at Galashiels in the gently rolling Borders area of Scotland. This tartan was then woven by Ingles Buchan Textiles Ltd., in 100% pure Scottish wool, and manufactured into ties and scarves for the Computer in Society conference.

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.
