Registration notes: The James of Glencarr tartan was designed specifically and exclusively for this family and is a very traditional design in both colour and sett. The direct maternal descent of the family from 1 Kerr has lent the red to the design, whilst the other colours show the paternal descent through the Celts of Wales (green) and 1 Gunn (blue and green). The colours also reflect those of Scotland itself (blue and white). The red white and blue in the design also represent the colours of Russia, which is connected to the family by marriage. This tartan is restricted and can only be worn by the extended family directly connected to James of Glencarr. Silk sample.

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.
