Ayrshire District Tartan Tartan Number: 436. Earliest known date: 1988 Dr Phil Smith, a Fellow of the Scottish Tartans Society, designed the Ayrshire district tartan at the suggestion of the Clan Boyd and Clan Cunningham Societies. In his book, 'District Tartans' (1992) co-authored with Dr G Teall, he says, the colours "..reflect the gold of the rising sun, the green of the land and brown of the coast, the blue of the sea and the red of the setting sun. The Ayrshire tartan is intended for those with connections in the districts of Kyle, Cunninghame and Inverclyde." See products available Copyright © Blair Urquhart, Comrie, 2015
