| Title (Provisional) |
Nelson of the Black Watch | |
|---|---|---|
| Designed By | Gregory of Gunn | |
| Brief Description | Dedicated to my grandfather, Les Nelson, who fought with the 42nd Highlanders, Canadian Division, in Holland during WWII | |
| What Inspired the Design? | This tartan combines the elements of the Black Watch tartan and the Gunn clan tartan. | |
| Why did you choose these colours? | ||
| Though not as bright as the accent band of the Gunn tartan (modern), this hue of magenta breaks the otherwise darkened tone of the black watch sett in the same way that the Gunn sett is broken. | ||
| What meaning does the number or arrangement of lines have, if any? | The numerical arrangement is primarily based on the Black Watch tartan, with slight variation to add accent stripes to the double black railroads. | |
| 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.) | No answer given yet. | |
| How do you plan to use it (garments, furnishings, etc)? | No answer given yet. | |
| Do you expect to weave it, or produce it in other ways? | No answer given yet. | |
