The Scottish company who makes this tartan scarf has been established
for over 50 years, they pride themselves on high quality Scottish
products made from wool tartan woven in the border town of Selkirk.
The Tartan was designed by Matthew Newsome, Director of the Scottish Tartans Museum and he explains the design as follows: "The white line on blue field draws upon Scotland's national colours while the greens reflect the lichens growing on the stones of Whithorn in Galloway. It was there that Ninian first brought the gospel to the shores of Scotland over 1600 years ago. The white lines are also accompanied by a pair of red lines reflecting the colours of Cardinal Newman's crest and finally the thin yellow lines together with the white reflect the colours of the Vatican". "In terms of weaving, each white line on the green contains exactly 8 threads; one for each Catholic Diocese in Scotland. There are 452 threads in the design representing the number of catholic parishes". |

| Normally these tartan Scarves are not held in stock and have to be ordered
in from the supplier who hold a small stock of each tartan - this
normally takes around 10-15 days longer but we can rush an order if required
and in some cases we can arrange to have an order shipped by the supplier
direct. |
