Respect for Piper at Glasgow University

Unfortunately I did not know that Glasgow University has their own tartan so therefore I would not recognise it. I apologise for my ignorance here.
On that note about tartans I noticed in the Scottish media that there is a move on for an official register of Tartans within the European Union so that Scotland can be recognised as the originators and official producers of tartan.
Much like other countries and areas have done with their produce such as Parma ham, Italy, and champagne from that area of France.(I am not attempting to put our much cherished tartan in the same league as ham or sparkling wine but stating a move towards more recognition of the kilt in particular)
