D C Stewart's Nomindex (Name Index) notes. Th is seven-colour tartan was designed by Miss Patricia 'Paddy' McQaid as the Manx National Tartan at the instigation in 1958 of the Rt. Hon the Lord Sempill who was Chairman of Ellynyn ny Gael - a Manx Gaelic Society. The colours were explained as follows: light blue of the sky, dark blue of the sea, green of the hills & valleys, white of the cottages, purple of the heather, gold of the gorse in bloom and reddish brown of the bracken. The tartan was registered with the Tartans Society on 3rd November 1959 and Paddy McQuaid held the sole rights to production for some years.
