It is a beautiful tartan.
I have read, though Peter might have more accurate information, that all the tartans in House Of Edgar's Irish County Tartans range were designed by Polly Wittering, and first produced in 1996.
What I love about HOE's Irish County range is that they were designed simply to look good, which was the original motivation of the old tartan designers.
Tartans the design of which is governed by non-tartan non-aesthetic factors are rarely as attractive as tartans which are not. (For example designing a tartan based on colours from a flag, or a crest, or any other basis other than which colours make a good-looking tartan.)
I don't think there's a bad-looking tartan in the entire HOE Irish county range, and some are of surpassing beauty. Well done Polly!
My only regrets are that HOE only produces this range in 13oz, and that most/all of the sett-sizes are a bit small for my liking.
Here's a lovely photo of Cavan.
