    Good for them. I think that they may be well advised to loose those ties though.

    For all those who might want a closer look:



    The information held within The Scottish Register of Tartans for the "Eusa" tartan is shown below.

    Designer: Cariou, Serge
    Tartan date: 03/02/2010
    Registration date: 22 June 2010
    Category: District
    Restrictions: Yes. Developed for weaving by House of Tartan


    Registration notes: Following the visit of MSP Rob Gibson to his island home, Serge Cariou(Ouessant, Brittany, France) decided to design his own tartan. Colours: the red, yellow and black represent the flag of the Isle of Ushant (Breton: Enez Eusa, French: Ouessant); the black, green and white check represents Brittany. Rob Gibson is Vice-President of Brittany-Scotland Association. Jean-Yves Cozan, who represents the Ouessant Township and the District of Ouessant on the County Council of Finistere, has authorised the use of the name 'Oeussant' and 'Eusa' for the registration of this tartan.

    Yes, I read this in The Tartan Herald online magazine.
    I just love loud, flashy tartans...

    Ouessant is a gorgeous island in Brittany (France).
    I have a piping friend who goes there every summer with his wife.


    Best,
