Origin of The Register
In the years leading up to 2008, the government of Scotland had been considering sponsoring an official register of tartan. On 9 October 2008, the Scottish Parliament passed the "Scottish Register of Tartans Bill" clearing the way for a national register of tartan in Scotland. On 13 November 2008 the Register received Royal Assent. The Register's website was officially launched on 5 February 2009.
