- undated — Hird Family Tartan Tartan Number: 2243. Earliest known date: 1996 Designed for the wedding of Miss Fiona Hird to a Mr. Blumsden. A very complex non-reversing design. Said to combine three checks, James C.Hird, Kathleen E. Hird and Fiona J.Hird but the meaning of that comment is not understood. The STS version appears to differ in some respects from the generally accepted sett. No SINDEX details on this so difficult to check either way. (EBW Feb 2005).
