In emulation of the success of the Cornish tartans, Roy Sheard of the Coldharbour Mill Trust designed this and the Devon Companion tartan in 1984. The Devon Original is worn by the North Devon Pipes and Drums. Both tartans were woven at Coldharbour Mill, Uffculme, Devon.

The Devon Original and Devon Companion owe their origin to the success of the Cornish St Piran sett, which was woven by Coldharbour Mill in the early 1980's. The Accreditation Certificate was presented to the Mayor of Barnstaple in 1991. In a poem describing the tartan, Miss M. Miles says, "So, in the mind, Devon's beauty is retrieved By contemplating Devon's tartan's weave."
