The register has reached a significant milestone this year as it recorded its 10,000th design.
The design was registered by the Diocesan Boys’ School of Hong Kong and celebrates the school’s long history since its founding in 1869.

In the past year, Rangers FC registered the latest of many football club tartans to have been registered over the year.
Other designs include the Balmoral Glen Gelder tartan, registered by The Scottish Tartans Authority on behalf of HM The King’s Aberdeenshire estate, the Edinburgh 900 tartan which celebrates the city’s 900th anniversary year, and a Witches of Scotland tartan was dedicated in memory of those who suffered as a result of the Witchcraft Act.
Created in 2008 by the Scottish Parliament, the Scottish Register of Tartans is managed by the National Record of Scotland (NRS) and aims to promote and preserve information about historic and contemporary tartans.
Hundreds of designs are added every year for families, cultural organisations, sporting clubs, companies, movies and television shows.

“Registering our ten thousandth design demonstrates that people all over the world love tartan and want to ensure their designs are preserved as part of the historic record.
“You don’t have to be Scottish or have Scots heritage to register a design.
“Everyone can apply to register a new tartan.
“You can search our website to find out more about existing tartans and maybe discover the design that would be most appropriate for you.”
