This design from Malcolm Campbell of Holland & Sherry depicts the natural and beautiful features surrounding the picturesque Borders' town of Peebles, home to Holland & Sherry. The navy blue depicts the River Tweed and the fir green is for the Scots pines that cover the surrounding hills. The black guard reflects the dark shadows cast by the 13th Century Neidpath Castle on the outskirts of Peebles and the burgundy is for the setting sun. The Royal blue overceck fanfares the blue of the Saltire, Scotland's national flag. Weaver Joseph H Clissold. - undated — Holland & Sherry (register-of-tartans, record)
