- 01/05/2002 — Ewbank (register-of-tartans, record)
Co-ordinator of this tartan was Capt. Edward E Ewbank who was chairman of a group of Ewbanks/Eubanks from New Zealand, Netherlands and various US states. The Ewbanks are thought to have come to the UK with William the Conqueror. The tartan is based on the Vipont tartan (the Ewbanks are said to have had connections with the Viponts) and the Vipont (#1479, original Scottish Tartans Authority reference) was designed circa 1930 by a J. Wright of Edinburgh. The Ewbank can be worn by all of the name and spelling variants which include variants such as Hughbank. Colours are based on the Eubank coat of arms (black, gold and red). - pre 2002 — Ewbank (Name) (tartans-authority, record)
