Yes they will be preserved for farmers 500 years from now to dig up, and for historians to reconstruct.

I imagine that being stained by peat for centuries will do these tartans a world of good.

Someone is doing a fantastic job with PR. I'm getting a news article in almost every day from a different source with a picture of this tartan and @figheadair.

Does anybody know if this tartan will be registered as is, or with the original colours? It would be awesome one day to order bolts of clothe to be made in to kilts no matter which version is registered

I suspect that both versions will be registered in due course.
