C.M. ‘Barney’ Ainslie of Cumnor, Oxfordshire commissioned about eight designs from the Scottish Tartans Society in 1992 and had different branches of the family choose the favourite. One of the judges was a Gladys Ainslie who was 100 years old. This tartan No. 2187 was the clear winner.
No. 2673 was in fact the original Ainslie tartan designed by Dr Phil Smith – and registered with the STS – over a decade before but it mysteriously disappeared from the records when Gordon Teall (then President of the STS) designed this one.
