New Tartan Registration - Twist in the Tail

[Chas]

I get regular updates from the Scottish Register of Tartans. This latest one caught my eye, but not for the tartan (which is quite handsome). Rather for the registration details:

Loch Freuchie

Reference:	10725
Designer:	MacArthur-Fox, Jeffrey
Tartan date:	01/10/2012
Registration date:	25 October 2012
Category:	District
Restrictions:
Registration notes:	A tartan for the area around Loch Freuchie near Crieff. The tartan is based on the Murray of Atholl and Breadalbane setts, with differences, to relate the tartan to the particular Loch Freuchie area. Mr MacArthur-Fox has created a tartan for anyone to wear without fear of offending another person or group.

Most new registrations we are seeing these days are quite restrictive and it is quite refreshing to see a tartan designed without restrictions for everybody, with what seems to be no financial motive.

Regards

I like the tartan. And since I have family in Freuchie this is possibly my next kilt. Thanks for posting.

I agree. It is more attractive than a lot of the tartans we see week to week.

I very much like this tartan. Hopefully one of the mills will start producing it shortly.
