The Holyrood Tartan was created as an
adaptation of the Royal Stewart. Many of the newer tartans took
their inspiration from this popular sett, usually with some royal
significance. Lochcarron of Scotland, who make our scarves, was
similarly inspired to commemorate the Silver Jubilee in 1977. This
tartan, with its hues of blue, sage, silver and white has remained
popular and took on a new relevance when the first Scottish Parliament
for 300 years was based at Holyrood.
