Designed by Carol Clark Worthley of Hiram, Maine in the US for the American Greenlaws to coincide with 'Greenlaw 250' a celebration in 2003 of the arrival of the Greenlaw family in America in 1753. Sole US agents Tam o'Shanter Highland Outfitters. Woven by Lochcarron. Sample in Scottish Tartans Authority's Collection and Lochcarron swatch. Formal ownership passed from Stephen Snell (Co-ordinator) to the embryonic Greenlaw Family Association in October 2004.
