| Title (Provisional) |
Kerr Hunting Dubh | |
|---|---|---|
| Designed By | Len Pellman (Kerr) | |
| Brief Description | A somber tartan appropriate for expressing grief ... as on the occasion of one's favorite football club losing a match. | |
| What Inspired the Design? | A rare moment of sobriety, perhaps, although originally the idea was to create a tartan suitable for a nighttime hunting trip -- such as holding the sack while my Kerr cousins drive the elusive Wild Haggis toward me. | |
| Why did you choose these colours? | ||
| What meaning does the number or arrangement of lines have, if any? | The customary arrangement of the Kerr Hunting tartan, but with colour substitutions | |
| Does it represent a group or event (business, club, wedding, etc.)? | A great sorrow or personal loss (such as a farthing dropped in the gutter) | |
| Is it associated with a locality (city, region, country etc.) | No answer given yet. | |
| How do you plan to use it (garments, furnishings, etc)? | Garments, particularly burial shrouds | |
| Do you expect to weave it, or produce it in other ways? | No answer given yet. | |
