- Romsdal District Tartan Tartan Number: 2087. Earliest known date: 1850-1900 Romsdal is where the Scottish army landed in 1612 under the command of Captain Sinclair and in the pay of the Swedes. They marched through half of Norway until defeated at Kringen. Sinclair was killed by a silver button used as a 'bullitt' (sic). Many Scots settled in Norway after the battle leaving place names such as Skottlia and Skotte. Romsdal is the only place on the west coast of Norway where there is a tradition of tartans.
