Scottish Register Of Tartans
The Scottish Register of Tartans is Scotland's official register of tartan. The Register is maintained and administrated by the National Archives of Scotland based in Edinburgh. The aim of the Register is to provide a definitive and accessible resource to promote and preserve tartan. It also aims to be the definitive source for the registration of new tartans. The register itself is made up of the existing registers of the Scottish Tartans Authority and the Scottish Tartans World Register and new registrations from 5 February 2009 and on. On the Register's website users can register new tartans, search for and request the threadcounts of existing tartans and receive notifications of newly registered tartans.
