Notes:
The rationale for the design and colours of the tartan are as follows: the three black strips denote the designer's three sons; the purple line denotes that the registrant is a Minister of the Church of Scotland and an Army Chaplain (purple being the colour of the academic hoods for Divinity Graduates of Aberdeen University, and a universally recognised colour for the Clergy); the green and blues are from the tartans for the names which appear in the registrant's family tree: Gordon, Forbes, and Allan, and from his family's association with the Clergy, the Black Watch, the Gordon Highlanders and the Royal Air Force. Designed by the Reverend James W. Aitchison for his personal use and that of his immediate family. No one is permitted to weave or wear this Tartan without the express written permission of the designer or his descendants.
