Registration notes: This count was taken from a kilt bought from the Scottish Scout Shop in Edinburgh in 1922. Designed by Chief Commissioner of the Scout Association of Scotland, Lord Glentanar who was George Coats of Paisley thread-making fame. It was for the use of Scouts having no tartan of their own or for Scout troops requiring a uniform tartan. Black Watch in three shades of grey. It didn't achieve great popularity. In 1989 a variation in which light grey changed to white was being marketed as 'Dress Grey Watch'.



Who knows what this would cost to produce today. It is also debatable as to whether the boys would like it - it is rather bland.
