Note from Jamie Scarlett (Nomindex ). "Not officially approved but think will be, colours asked for were Magenta, Cyan and Light green. I offered rose and light green as being the nearest wool in stock, suggested that a darker blue than cyan would give better 'framing'. Now they want Purple to match their blazers." This does not appear to have been used - see #689. - 1986 — Scottish Netball Association Corporate Tartan (house-of-tartan, record)
