So where is this contest leading? To a new replacement?
I don't believe the idea is to arrive in heaven in a well preserved body! But to slide in side ways,Kilt A' Fly'n! Scream'en "Mon Wha A Ride" Kilted Santas

I think the article indicates it will be the official Parliamentary Tartan, rather than a new Holyrood Tartan. I guess the existing "Scottish Parliament" tartan is unofficial.
The new one will be in commemoration of the Scottish Parliament.
I thought that the Holyrood we know and love was a "fashion tartan," but it seems there are 2. They were designed by Lochcaron to commemorate HRM's silver (1977, STA 98) and golden (2002, STA 6405) jubilees. The familiar one is STA #98.
We live and learn... thanks to the Tartan Register!
