Rob Roy movie tartan

Good question. I have no idea, but you could ask the STR.

I always go to the STA International Tartan Index first when I need info on a tartan.

Whichever register you use there are always missing tartans, for example my own, despite sending the details to Brian Wilton, and indeed a sample of the tartan, doesn't appear to be on the STA listing.

I think it's worth checking both lists, just in case!

Paul,

Just to point out that there is a distinction between recording the tartan in the ITI and the same tartan actually appearing on the STA's web site. I'm sure that if you have sent the details in to the STA, including a woven sample, that Brian Wilton would have entered it into the official ITI. A quick email to him would confirm that.

However, getting the tartan included on the STA web site is an additional process, and I know the STA has numerous upgrades for the web site in the works - one of which would be the ability to add new tartans to the online version of the ITI much quicker!

the point I was making that it is still a good thing to check on both registers, I'm not a governor of the STA, and few here have access to the entire index, so there is not an easy way to check what is on the list. I imagine you actually mean delay rather than distinction, as Brian did email to tell it had been recorded on the STA database.
The STR was created to be a single index of tartans, and in time I'm sure it will be , but it will take some time, especially as the STA appears to be less than keen on it.
