- 01/01/1980 — Princess Beatrice Dress (Dance) (register-of-tartans, record)
This version is said to have been designed by Hugh MacPherson - Edinburgh kiltmaker and designer of many dress tartans for dancers. Since this is virtually a replica of the historical Princess Beatrice (#1206, original Scottish Tartans Authority reference) that claim seems strange. This differs from #1206 (original Scottish Tartans Authority reference) by three reversals of green/black. - pre 1980 — Princess Beatrice Dress (Dance) (tartans-authority, record)
