- May 2008 — International Pairs (Corporate) (tartans-authority, record)
Design by Heather Yellowley of Strathmore Woollens of Forfar. Conceived in the UK in 1998 as a golf tournament to celebrate the millennium, the International Pairs is now firmly established as a major event in the diaries of thousands of golf clubs worldwide. Tens of thousands of golfers take part each year and thet tournament is continuing to expand internationally with new countries becoming involved on a regular basis. The Chairman and Founder of the Tournament is Ross Honey and therefore the tartan colours have been chosen due to the connection with the Buchanan tartan (Honey being connected to Watt and subsequently to Buchanan). The golfing link can also be tied in to the colours, green being the fairways, blue the sky, white for the balls and the honey gold for Ross Honey the founder. - undated — International Pairs (register-of-tartans, record)
