- 05/10/1999 — Glengarry Highland Games (register-of-tartans, record)
Three years ago this tartan was created as a special millennium project. Working with the late Don Smith of Heraldic Graphics in Glasgow, Scotland the Glengarry Highland Games Tartan Committee of Connie Blaney, Margaret Arkinstall, and the late Margery Stewart came up with a striking design composed mainly of the red and blue colours of our logo with the addition of green, black and white. A hand woven sample of the tartan was first made by a firm in Newton, North Carolina. This sample was sent to the Scottish Tartan Society in Pitlochry, Scotland to be Officially Registered. Following the registration on November 6th, 1999, Strathmore Woolen Co. in Forfar, Scotland was commissioned to weave the new tartan. In early April 2000 the tartan was completed. - October 1999 — Glengarry Highland Games (Corporate) (tartans-authority, record)
