Tartan Details - Moir (Loch Insh) (Personal)

The information held within The Scottish Register of Tartans for the "Moir (Loch Insh) (Personal)" tartan is shown below.

Reference:	10326


Designer:	Lochcarron of Scotland
Tartan date:	01/11/2010
Registration date:	8 December 2010
Category:	Name
Restrictions:	Yes. This tartan is only to be used with permission of the owner, Alan Moir. This tartan is woven by Lochcarron of Scotland.
Registration notes:	Moir is an old Scottish name. Sir Kenneth Moir was entrusted to be one of the party to take the heart of King Robert the Bruce for burial in the Holy Land. His motto was "non sibi sed cunctis", which translated is "not for self but for all". Named for Loch Insh as the designer's family lived near the shores of Loch Insh between 1950 and 1953. The local church overlooking the Loch has been the venue of a family wedding and in the adjoining cemetery, overlooking the loch, the designer's parents are interred. There is no tartan registered in the name of Moir and to address the situation, this tartan was designed by Lochcarron of Scotland to Alan Moir's instructions. Colours: black represents the nature of the world; red represents blood; white represents wool; green represents growth; and blue the saltire of Scotland.
Information notes:	Woven sample provided for the Register by Lochcarron, 2011.
Woven Sample:	A woven sample of this tartan has been received by the Scottish Register of Tartans for permanent preservation in the National Records of Scotland.
