  • 01/01/1830 — Gudbrandsdalen, Rondastakken (register-of-tartans, record)
    Rondastakken dress is used all over Gudbrandsdalen. The upper part of the folk dress is always tartan and was worn separately until 1830. This is part of the collection of Norwegian district tartans presented to the Scottish Tartans Society by Erik Paulsen in 1992. It has been claimed by the Sinclairs that both Gudbrandsdalen tartans owe their origins to Scottish soldiers fighting in the battle of Kringellen in Norway in 1612.
