| Title (Provisional) |
Kerr Reiving | |
|---|---|---|
| Designed By | Len Pellman (Kerr) | |
| Brief Description | A Kerr tartan for those times when we might not wish to be noticed ... a concept not to be taken too seriously, but humourously. | |
| What Inspired the Design? | The Kerrs are some of the most (in)famous of the Scottish border reivers, so we deserve a reiving tartan! | |
| Why did you choose these colours? | ||
| To blend with the darker earth | ||
| To blend in with the foliage | ||
| To blend in with the underbrush | ||
| What meaning does the number or arrangement of lines have, if any? | The pattern is identical to Kerr Hunting, but with dark brown substituted for the customary black, light green for the customary dark green, and light brown for the blue, since it's for a very different sort of "hunting". | |
| Does it represent a group or event (business, club, wedding, etc.)? | No answer given yet. | |
| Is it associated with a locality (city, region, country etc.) | The Scottish borders region | |
| How do you plan to use it (garments, furnishings, etc)? | Garment | |
| Do you expect to weave it, or produce it in other ways? | No, I expect to STEAL it! It's a REIVING tartan, after all. | |
Slightly too conspicuous when reiving, has to be completely covered with a dark cloak.
