- 15th Dec. 2010 — Tawain Scottish (Commemorative) (tartans-authority, record)
- undated — Tawain Scottish Commemorative Tartan Tartan Number: 10371. Earliest known date: 15th Dec. 2010 This tartan was designed to mark the centennial of the founding of the Republic of China (Taiwan) and was commissioned by the Taiwanese Community in Scotland. The design was based on the sett of the Caledonian Tartan. Elements of the Mackay Tartan, and the Maxwell Tartan were also used to reflect the importance of two Scottish missionaries to Taiwan, Dr. George Leslie Mackay (Scottish Canadian) and Dr. James Maxwell recognised for their work in the fields of religion, education and medicine. The main colours used in the design are taken from the Taiwan's National Flag where Blue represents democracy, Red represents nationalism and White represents people's livelihoods. The white over check passes through the blue thereby reflecting the Scottish Satire. There are also 12 rays of the sun shown on the Taiwan's National Flag, these rays represent the 12 months of the year and are translated in the tartan as 12 over checks spread throughout the design. Exclusively designed by Kinloch Anderson for the Taiwanese Community in Scotland. Restricted availability. See products available Copyright © Blair Urquhart, Comrie, 2015 (house-of-tartan, record)
