- 2003 — O'Neill (Personal) (tartans-authority, record)
Martin T O'Neill from Milngavie in Glasgow designed his personal tartan with help from Blair Urquhart at the House of Tartan. Many variations were tried, working with the uncompromising combination of green and yellow. Martin looked at Irish National #2245 and at MacLean of Duart Hunting #824 while working on his design. The entire O'Neill family assembled at Comrie for the final choice which Martin will wear at his wedding. - 2003 — O'Neill Personal Tartan (house-of-tartan, record)
