D.W.Stewart wrote in his book, 'Old and Rare Scottish Tartans' (1893), "Her Majesty the Queen has not only granted permission for its publication here, but has also graciously afforded information concerning its inception in the early years of the reign, when the sett was designed by the Prince Consort." The grey threads are flecked to give an impression of granite. See products available Copyright © Blair Urquhart, Comrie, 2015 — ΔT 0.36
