Designed April 1999 by Lochcarron of Scotland for Mr Sirdar Iqbal Singh of Lesmahagow (south of Glasgow). The ground shade of blue was a special Singh colour with the yellow symbolising peace. The red and white is in recognition of Mrs Singh who is of Swiss origin and the green represents various landholdings of 'Grandfather' Singh. The tartan can also be worn by any Asians with Scottish connections. Sample in STA Johnston Collection. Mr Singh is the Lord of the Manor of Butley. "Mr. Singh, 67, who lives in Little Castle, a turreted Elizabethan mansion in Lesmahagow, South Lanarkshire, and holds the title Lord of Butley Manor, Suffolk, said "I remember thinking ?I?m in Scotland, so why not have my own tartan??" The new plaid, which is on display at Paisley Museum, incorporates the Singh family colour of blue, yellow for peace, green to represent the landed gentry and red as a tribute to Gertrude, his Swiss wife.
