Tartan Details - Moffat (1950)

The information held within The Scottish Register of Tartans for the "Moffat (1950)" tartan is shown below. 

STA ref: 1139
STWR ref: 1139
Designer: Not Specified
Tartan date: 01/01/1950
Registration date: This tartan was recorded prior to the launch of The Scottish Register of Tartans.
Category: District
Restrictions: Yes.
Registration notes: Origin unclear. Possibly started life as the clan/family tartan but when replaced by a new design in 1983, became a District tartan by default. A Dalgliesh version has a thicker black line between the red tramlines - K4 instead of K2. ('K' is the conventional shorthand for black in the industry so that it doesn't get confused with 'B' for blue). Sample in Scottish Tartans Authority's Dalgety Collection and Scottish Tartans Authority's Scarlett Collection. The sett is based on a fractional count in the notes made by John MacGregor Hastie in the 1930's. There is a similarity with the Murray of Tullibardine sett, in the centre portion, which was favoured in the Border districts to show support for the Jacobite cause in the early 18th century. This collection can also be found in the Scottish Tartans Society archive.

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.
