Registration notes: One of Wilsons' ubiquitous tartans that changed name depending upon where it was sold - Denholm (Roxburghshire in the Scottish Borders) or 'Durham' in northeast England. Wilsons' Pattern Book No.4. Not commercially woven nowadays but could be done as a special order. Doutbless it will become accepted as a clan/family tartan for those of the name. This tartan is remarkably similar to the Durham sett designed by Wilson's of Bannockburn around 1819. The variation in proportions may point to a deliberate modification suggested by the links between the names. Wilson's of Bannockburn a weaving firm founded c1770 near Stirling.

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.
