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

STA ref: 1656
STWR ref: 1656
Designer: Not Specified
Tartan date: 01/01/2002
Registration date: This tartan was recorded prior to the launch of The Scottish Register of Tartans.

Registration notes: No details of where this version originated except that it was seen in The Scotch House in Knightsbridge. Tartan Society notes state that a Mr Yule of Messrs Anderson's (now Kinloch Anderson) of Edinburgh said that a branch of the Tennants had adopted this sett and he thought it may well have been because the usual one is so like MacDuff. The head of the Tennant family is Lord Glenconner who descended from John Tennant of Blairston (1635), Ayr. Threadcount doubled here to see sett. Confusingly there is a third sett not here with the Slog RTG : RTG and the following notes 'This sett was taken from a piece of kilt material woven by Hunters of Brora. The kilt owner was a member of the Tennant family circa 1953. This sett may have been adopted because of the similarity of RTB : RTG (#1653, original Scottish Tartans Authority reference) to the MacDuff Hunting.' (NOMINDEX notes).

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.
