Registration notes: Designed by Gordon Kirkbright and Peter Wilson this tartan is inspired by the failure of the Scottish plan to establish a trading colony in the Panama Isthmus in the late 1600's. The Darien Venture was a scheme which saw brave men and women risk and/or lose their lives with some never seeing their homeland again. The dream of a transoceanic trade route was to be fulfilled some two centuries later by a descendant of one of the survivors, who settled in the Carolinas. The colours represent blue for the Saltire, red for the Panamanian flag, purple for the Scottish heather and gold for the Golden Isle which sits at the mouth of the bay of New Caledonia in Darien.
