St Andrews University Corporate Tartan Tartan Number: 2398. Earliest known date: pre 1998 Originally named St. Andrews International. Apparently a Gordon Paton MD, bought the company from North East Fife Enterprise Trust in 1997, the aim being to brand quality Scottish products for export worldwide. The company intended to set up a membership scheme but the company went into liquidation. The intended venue belonged to St Andrews University and it appears that the ownership of the tartan has fallen to the University and its name has been changed from 'International' to 'University' (Deirdre Kinloch Anderson, Aug 2004).No thread count given so this entry is based on an estimate from a small computer graphic. Has since been corrected to conform to the SRT (Scottish Register of Tartans) See products available Copyright © Blair Urquhart, Comrie, 2015
