Birch
Its design is pattern GBGKRKWKW — the page of every tartan sharing this colour sequence.
Designed by Robin Birch of Connell Reid kiltmaker, Blairgowrie, for the Birch family.
The Birch tartan groups 3 setts — the same named design recorded as different cloths (its kilt, Carpet, Child's…, or a transcription apart). The master sett (★) is the exemplar.
