As part of the recent Act passed to create a Scottish Register of Tartans, one stipulation was to make the information in the register available to the general public. As of today this requirement has been fulfilled with the online launch of the Scottish Register of Tartans website at www.tartanregister.gov.uk.
The site is fully searchable, and holds thousands of designs, including many held by the Scottish Tartans Authority and the Scottish Tartans World Register. The site also allows you to register a new design and to obtain detailed technical information on the many designs already held (colours, thread counts etc).
