The original Al-Maktoum Tartan was based upon the Cameron Tartan and designed in 1977 by the late Major Stallard for the late HH Shaikh Rashid Bin Saeed Al-Maktoum, the Ruler of Dubai. It was initially for the use of the Dubai Pipe Band and the tartan became one of the international symbols of Al-Maktoum. It later fell into disuse for a number of years before being rediscovered in 2002 by the Dundee based Al-Maktoum Institute for Arabic and Islamic Studies and it was officially used by the Al-Maktoum Foundation in 2006. Now woven by the Strathmore Woollen Co. of Forfar.
