First USA Kilt - 5yd Inverness Anc.

[OC Richard]

I have lived in Inverness-shire, for most of my fairly long life life and I have to confess that I did not know that there is an Inverness District tartan!

It's one of the older District Tartans. Peter I'm sure has better information, but the book District Tartans has this to say about it:

"The Inverness tartan was woven for Augustus, the Earl of Inverness, sometime before 1822.

It was the first tartan to be reproduced as a colour illustration in a book on tartans.

...sometimes called The Burgh of Inverness tartan."

Thank you OCR. It just goes to show that I will be never be too old to stop learning.
