- September 2008 — CoVASS (Corporate) (tartans-authority, record)
CoVASS stands for Community Violence and Abuse Support Service and this tartan was designed by COVASS staff and clients with input from the Tartans Authority. The rationale is explained as follows: "The pink represents the company logo and the compassion for the women we support in the areas of Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey. The two white lines represent our two offices in Nairn and Aviemore and stand for the peace that we hope to bring to families in crisis; the purple and green represent the heather on the Cairngorms as well as strength, passion and personal growth. The Moray Firth is shown by the blue and the whole sits in black, the colour of the protection we give and the hope we aim to restore in the families we come into contact with." - undated — CoVASS (register-of-tartans, record)
