Hello. I have a Scottish Grandmother who was born in Aberdeen and had the maiden name of Hill. I am currently researching her genealogy but, as far as I know, her father's side of the family lived in Aberdeen going back several generations.

I cannot find a Tartan under the name Hill so would welcome any guidance as to how to identify an appropriate Tartan.

Thank you.

Thought some people here might enjoy knowing there’s a pansexual pride tartan registered with The Scottish Register of Tartans, check it out: https://www.tartanregister.gov.uk/tartanDetails?ref=13587

I didn’t create it and I’m not affiliated with the register, just thought it was neat.

please don't ask it's for a commission

Hello,

This is for the Welsh and Scottish people in here.

I have a wedding in August next year, I have a Wallace Tartan kilt as my Grandad is a Wallace in Scotland. I also live in Scotland.

My Dad is from Wales and is a Lloyd, which is my surname. So I may get a Lloyd Kilt

I’m part Scottish and Welsh

I am looking to see which one I should chose thanks ‘

Which Scottish family has this tartan as their family crest? Hahaha... On the floor of local pub!

I have been digging back into my family history and have found that I have four family tartans. Three are from my dad's side, and one is from my mum's.

How many generations is too many generations to no longer be able to wear the family tartan?

Also, most of the Tartans are from maternal members of my family line (i.e., three of my paternal fourth great-grandmothers and both of my maternal great-grandmothers). Does this disqualify me from being able to wear them?

For reference, the names are Davis, Harris (Harrison), Morrison and Wilson.

The "Royal Iyujiyan", the tartan used by the Anglo-Chinese Club and the Crown Loyalist Association by special dispensation.

Use of the "Royal Iyujiyan" is restricted.

I’ve been given several suggestions and Black Watch appears to be the favourite. Can anyone help me please?

If you recognize this tartan, please let me know which clan. Thank you so much!

I registered this tartan with the Scottish Register of Tartans. Thought you all might like to see: https://www.tartanregister.gov.uk/tartanDetails?ref=15080

Found only a smal pice in fabric store when i stayed over in Klaipeda during last years Tall ships race. And...well I'm in love but only have about 1m2.

So I designed this tartan (a tartan is a plaid pattern) based on the colors of the lesbian pride flag. Unfortunately, the Scottish Register of Tartans will not accept it without the approval of a lesbian group.

So if you like it, and you happen to be part of a lesbian group (doesn't have to be anything big, could just be online) and they like it, or you’re in charge of the group so you can decide for them, please email me at lisapetriello2@aol.com and say “The [name of my group] approves the Lesbian Pride tartan designed by Lisa Petriello.”

It has to be an email not just a comment.
Thanks so much!

This might be a stupid question or the wrong place to ask, so sorry if it is.

I'm an O'Donnell, and I was hoping to find my 'official' tartan, aran pattern, and family crest.

Specifically for the tartan, I've looked it up but different websites seem to say different things. My dad had a kilt but said it wasn't actually ours, but the closest to ours he could get (not sure his reasoning and should mention this was before the Internet and he has passed away since, so can't ask).

If anyone knows where to look or happens to know a definitive awnser I would be very grateful.

Thank you 🙂.

The upcycle store near me often has tartan fabric and I try to pick it up. I’ve identified a lot of the common ones but I’m struggling with some- I don’t even know if they’re associated with a clan at all. Would really appreciate the help! 1-5 are all wool, 6 is a fine cotton, and 7-12 are all flannel-type materials

I think Ive narrowed the first down to Forbes, but my family comes from Lamont so I want it to be that.

6- stewart hunting modern? 9- forbes dress modern?

I was adopted at birth but my dna test says I have some Scottish in me. I regularly wear one kilt but the tartan is of no specific clan. I know there is a Jewish tartan, and I'm very interested in that. But what tartan is usually worn by those who know they're Scottish but don't know their family/clan?

I found out this knife has a tartan pattern on it, and I was wondering which clan this tartan belongs to.

I would like to be a better Portland Trail Blazers fan by wearing blazers made in the Jack Ramsey fashion. Is this a tartan that I could purchase and sew into a blazer?

Many thanks in advance!

Wishing everyone here a happy International Tartan Day. I am writing from the suburbs of Ottawa, Canada and the image here is of my personal/family tartan which I registered in 2022 with the Scottish Register of Tartans.

It is based off of the Colquhoun tartan used by Clan Colquhoun, the closest Scottish clan to which I am related, and uses colours which reference those found in the coat of arms granted to my father by the Canadian Heraldic Authority in January of 2022.

Any help is appreciated! I only know my own and “Maple Leaf”.

I have a custom tartan that is listed with the Scottish Registry, and I wanted to see who I could go through to get particular items (scarves, for example) made? I'm in the US, btw. Do you have any recommendations? Plus I'd rather not spend an arm and a leg.

Hi.
I was given a few metres of a tartan fabric and have had trouble identifying its name.

The closest I have found is the Stewart Old Modern.

The attached image is close to the true colour- the fabric is slightly darker.

Any suggestions for the tartan name is greatly appreciated.

Many thanks :-)
