This tartan has been designed by Bernard O'Hagan (Redshank Scotland, Inverary) to celebrate their contribution and the considerable historic links between Poland and Scotland. Also designed to provide the Polish community in Scotland, and their families at home, with a tartan which will both give pride in the wearing and stimulate interest in the Polish connection in the development of Scottish tartans. The colours include the red and white of the Polish national flag and the black and silver of the Royal Sobieski eagle. Woven sample. - January 2007 — Sobieski-Stewart (District?)
