Registration notes: Gordon Teall (District Tartans) states that this started life as the 'District Stewartry of Menteith' and although it is similar to the Graham of Menteith, the proportions are quite distinct and the azure overcheck has been replaced with a white. Scottish Tartans Society notes further add: Menteith lies in the upper reaches of the River Forth. The tartan is similar to the Graham of Mentieth sett recorded by Logan in 1831. The proportions of colours are quite distinct, however, and the azure stripe in the family tartan is replaced by white in the district. The Menteith district tartan was rescued from oblivion in 1941 by Graeme Menteith who wrote to MacGregor-Hastie about it. (Scottish Tartans Society archives)

Please note

Where tartans were recorded before the establishment of the Scottish Register of Tartans (SRT) on 5 February 2009, the original Scottish Tartans Authority (STA) and the Scottish Tartans World Register (STWR) reference numbers have been retained. The new SRT reference number can be found in the address box on your browser (url).

The registration criteria now applied by the Register conforms to the Scottish Register of Tartans Act 2008. These criteria are different to those previously applied by either the STA or the STWR. You may wish to refer to the STA website for further information on the original recording of this tartan.
