Musician's tartan?

[Jock Scot]

Is there such a thing as a "musician's" tartan? Someone asked me, but I don't know.

I am no musician, but I have not ever heard of a special tartan for musicians. I shall view the replies with real interest.

I'm a musician and I've never heard of one - That would be a cool idea though I'd wear it if it looked good

This is the only tartan on the Scottish Register with 'Musician' in its name.

The information held within The Scottish Register of Tartans for the "42nd Regiment (Musicians)" tartan is shown below.

STA ref: 5870
STWR ref: none
Designer: Wilsons of Bannockburn?
Tartan date: 01/01/1819
Registration date: This tartan was recorded prior to the launch of The Scottish Register of Tartans.
Category: Military

Restrictions:

Registration notes: An entry in the 1819 Key Pattern Book of William Wilsons of Bannockburn (weavers) reads 'To make the band or musicians Plaids you have only to put Scarlet in place of the Black in the Sergts Plaids.'



I don't pretend to understand the notes, so make of it what you will.
