- 01/01/1996 — Highland Spring (1997) (register-of-tartans, record)
- undated — Highland Spring (Green) Corporate Prom Tartan Tartan Number: 2322. Earliest known date: 1997 Tartan Society notes say "Second tartan for Highland Spring. It is a straight substitution of colours in the original sett (#130). On the relaunch of their packaging a second tartan was needed. It had been found that the 'green' image of the Highlands carried in tartan, increased their product's competitiveness."
