- 01/01/2006 — Brewer (register-of-tartans, record)
Designed by Matt Newsome in January 2006 as a Personal family tartan for James Brewer. Brewers are traditionally considered a sept of Clan Drummond (Mr Brewer has traced his family line to Perthshire and Lanark) so elements of this tartan come from the Vestiarium Scoticum version of the Drummond tartan. The mauve line is taken from the Cooper tartan in honour of Mr Brewer's great grandmother, who was a Cooper. James Brewer wishes this tartan to be worn by anyone of the name Brewer, or any variations. Woven by D C Dalgliesh. - 2006, January — Brewer (Name) (tartans-authority, record)
