- 11/09/2010 — Reekie (Edmonton) (register-of-tartans, record)
This tartan was created because there was no tartan for the Scottish name of Reekie. Colours: yellow from the family crest; blue for Scotland; green for the land; white being the peace kept within the family; scarlet for the strong sense of pride of being of Scottish descent; and black for the forefathers lost. This tartan may be worn by anyone bearing the name Reekie. - 11th Sept. 2010 — Reekie (Name) (tartans-authority, record)
