- Notes:
-
For Scotch Corner, Metro, Gateshead. Warp & weft different. Need colour samples. An example of not checking to see if a tartan of the same name exists. It does (#2225) and has been approved by the head of the family.
Scotch Corner have produced various Irish surname tartans over the years but have never advised or consulted the Scottish Tartans Authority or offered any historical evidence to their designs. Since there is no known evidence of any Irish clan/family tartans having ever existed, these should not be regarded as genuine clan/family tartans but merely fashion designs given an Irish surname. However . . . . it may be considered that this is how many of Scotland’s clan tartans originally came into being so perhaps in a hundred years or so, today’s inventions will be regarded as tomorrow’s genuine Irish clan/family tartans.
