    Richard,

    Yes, it really is quite nasty looking, especially when compared to the norms of traditional designs. It was designs, or should that be invented, last year and is one the Register - FanX Salt Lake Comic Convention.

    It is one of the issues that I have with the Scottish Register of Tartans which has somewhat lost its way with nonsense like this I feel. That said, it's not the Register's fault but that of the committee that set this up and the Scottish Parliament for enacting it. Unfortunately, the wording of the legislation is such that anything that meets the criteria of a tartan (they use my definition) and which is capable of being woven, must be recorded if it is deemed 'new and unique' and the applicant pay the registration fee. That is some way from the original intent which was to protect Scotland's traditional tartans and by extension the weaving and kilt making business. Unfortunately, the genie is well and truly out of the box.
