- 01/03/2002 — Holyrood Golden Jubilee II (register-of-tartans, record)
Designed by Alistair Buchan of Lochcarron of Scotland to commemorate the Golden Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II in 2002. Additional notes from the Scottish Tartans Society say: 'Holyrood is the Scottish equivalent of Buckingham Palace, the Queen's official residence in Scotland. She is guarded by 'The Royal Company of Archers', a non military force provided by the chiefs of the clans. Lochcarron swatch. Very slightly different version being marketed by Lochcarron as 'Heirloom Holyrood Gold'. So similar as not to warrant inclusion. - March 2002 — Holyrood Golden Jubilee II (Commemo) (tartans-authority, record)
