Provenance
Earliest known date: 2008 The tartan has been designed to celebrate the wedding of Nathalie Selvon and Alex Bruce, to mark the beginning of a new family. The colours blend the histories of our two families. The red and green are from the Ancient Bruce and the yellow and blue are consistent with the flag of Mauritius, the country where the Selvon family trace their roots.
