Sikh tartans
There are two tartans designed by Lord Singh, a Scottish Sikh:

Lord Singh also commissioned a translation of Burns' poetry into Punjabi, and pressed for Prestwick Airport to be renamed Robert Burns International.
The Indian Army's Sikh Regiment, 3rd Battalion, is still known as "Rattray's Sikhs", named after the Scot who organized them, Captain Thomas Rattray, and their pipers wear the Rattray tartan in his honour.
Cheers, 
Todd
