    Here is a computer generated look the the Victoria, City of Gardens Tartan.
    It was registered with the Scottish Tartans Authority as #7992.
    This Thursday evening in City Council this will hopefully be adopted as the "Official" Tartan of my adopted City.



    And swatches of the actual fabrics.



    And here is the description of the design.

    "The six colors chosen for this Tartan come from the colors used on the Totem Poles of the First Peoples of our Provence. They were then arranged with a blue band to represent the ocean that surrounds us, a green band to represent our forests and parks, black bands to represent the roads that connect us, red to represent the bricks of our heritage buildings, and the yellow and white stripes to represent the "little spashes of color from our city's hanging baskets."


    And here is a better shot of the Mayor's Kilt.

    I wear the kilt because:
    Swish + Swagger = Swoon.
