2. Falkirk District Tartan Tartan Number: 2347. Earliest known date: 1989 The original Falkirk "Tartan" , now in the National Museum of Scotland, has a place in history as one of the earliest examples of Scottish cloth in existence. It is a direct link back to the Roman occupation of the area around 250 A.D.and was found stuffed into a pot filled with over 2000 silver coins. This early Celtic tweed used undyed yarn to give a herringbone pattern in brown hues and is considered to be a "poor man's plaid". The Falkirk District Tartan is alive with vibrant colour to reflect that part of Scotland as it is seen today. It was the winning entry by Jim McGeorge (aided by Tony Murray of Stirling) in a public competition run by Falkirk Town Centre Management to create a new image for an area that was rising from the ashes of its former industrial glory. Brown - represents the dominant colour of the original cloth; blue - links Falkirk district with sea via the River Forth and the canals. It is also the colour of the Falkirk "Bairns." Red - is the colour of the blast furnace flames from the Falkirk foundries and yellow - signifies wealth and prosperity. Black - the black lines intersect on blue to show Falkirk at the crossroads of all roads through the region. See products available Copyright © Blair Urquhart, Comrie, 2015 — ΔT 0.63

6. Cochrane Clan Tartan Tartan Number: 994. Earliest known date: 1934 Lord Dundonald originally registered a version missing a red and a green stripe with Lord Lyon in 1974. There is a story that a fragment of this design was discovered in the foundations of a Perthshire house around the 1930's, thought to be of greater authenticity. However, other reports suggest that the missing stripes were simply a typing error. The sett is based on the old Lochaber district tartan which also provided a base for the MacDonald and the Cameron of Erracht. (All of which have four red stripes). The red and green have been restored in this version, which is now the approved tartan, and appears in the 'Appendix' of the Lyon Court Books dated 12th November 1984.
