- Royal Highland Corporate Tartan Tartan Number: 2054. Earliest known date: March 1992 In 1808 the Highland Society of Scotland used the Universal or Black Watch tartan. This has been incorporated in the new design along with colours to represent the agricultural heritage and interests of the Society. This design includes changes that were made when the first version proved an exact match to the 'Wellington' tartan. The white is 'Barley white'.
