- Isle of Skye District Tartan Tartan Number: 2155. Earliest known date: 1993 The tartan was instigated and registered by Mrs Rosemary Nicolson Samios in 1992, an Australian of Skye descent, now living in Skye. It was selected through a worldwide competition won by Angus MacLeod from Lewis. Angus, a weaver by trade, produced the first commercial quantities in the traditional kilt weight in 1993 at Lochcarron Weavers in North Strome. The colours of the tartan depict those of the island, often called the 'Misty Isle'. Worn by the Torphican and Bathgate pipe band.

- Watkins Welsh Name Tartan Tartan Number: 6169. Earliest known date: pre 2004 The tartan for this Welsh surname and its variations, Walters, Watts, Gwatkin, Watkiss, is actually woven in Wales at the Cambrian Woollen Mill, weaving on the same site since 1830. This tartan differs from many traditional patterns in that the warp and weft differ, giving the finished worsted wool cloth more of a predominant stripe, vertically noticeable in the finished Kilt, or Cilt in Wales.
