The design alludes to the regimental tartan of the Argyll & Suthgerland Highlanders in which the founder of the Hashers - A.S. Gilbert - had served. The colours represent various aspects of the running club - green for the foliage its members run through, blue for the water crossings, brown for the mud, red for the blood occasionally shed running through such terrain, white for the marking of the trails and gold for the beer with they refresh themselves when the trail is completed. - undated — Hash House Harriers Trail (register-of-tartans, record)
