- 01/11/2006 — Ellenee (register-of-tartans, record)
The explanation from the designer is: 'Our interest in Scotland, its nature, inhabitants and above all its cultural history, combined with the growing interest for it in our family - we married in kilt, my mother takes country dance lessons, together we visit most Scottish events and we publish our own 'Schotland Digizine' - made us decide to design a tartan for our family in honour to Scottish tradition and to express our bond as a family. How the name of our tartan formed: Ellenee is L and E [in Dutch L en E] glued together in speech. L is the first letter of my wife's name, Louise and E is the first letter of my name, Edgar. In script the pronunciation of L en E in Dutch is Ellenee.' - November 2006 — Ellene (Personal)) (tartans-authority, record)
