Isle of Skye District Tartan Tartan Number: 2155. Earliest known date: 1993 The tartan was instigated and registered by Mrs Rosemary Nicolson Samios in 1992, an Australian of Skye descent, now living in Skye.

The colours of the tartan depict those of the island, often called the 'Misty Isle'. Worn by the Torphican and Bathgate pipe band.
