Why a new tartan was necessary or not is a question for those running the Castle. Corporation and other groups other change because they can or they may have seen a chance to get some publicity out of the new kilt to put in more tourist dollars. Maybe TFCK designed it on their own without the knowledge of the Historical Scotland group.

I see no problem with the original, in fact I like the tartan and think is should be worn as part of the Castle's history. But I don't think just because something is historical makes it better than something new or something new is better than historical just because it is new.

Change is hard to accept especially when it is hard to identify the need for the change.
