My husband and I would like to design our own tartan then order your worsted sample with kilt package. We already have a good idea of our colours and pattern, but we need to check the scale of the pattern is appropriate and confirm actual thread colours that would be used. We would like to visit your shop in Comrie and finalise the design. Thanks, Catriona Duffy - undated — Kang (Personal) (register-of-tartans, record)
This and the other Irish county crest range appear to be a partnership between Viking Technology of Glasgow and Marton Mills of Yorkshire. Despite advice sought by Viking Technology, these were named as the County Crest Range although the name causes confusion with the pre-existing and long-established Irish county range produced in 1996 by The House of Edgar. The names of the Viking Technology/Marton Mills range have, for the purposes of this database and to avoid such confusion, been altered to the county name with the suffix of 'Crest.'
