    I don't know if it's the same tartan, but I made a kilt for a gentleman a while back in NHS Grampian tartan. This one is selling at least a bit.

    I have no idea Troy, purely at a guess, its probably the same tartan, but I am happy to stand corrected, if necessary.

    My totally uninformed guess is that what's happened is that the nurses who birthed the project have lost interest. Again, just a wild guess, but if ever I learn more, I'll lengthen this thread, and of COURSE I'll post a picture if it features my spouse smiling in a kilted skirt!

    They're not the same. The NHS "Grampian" tartan was registered in the late 20th century (I'll guess while "Grampian" was a legally designated region. Much darker blues. Much less "feminine" in my Y-chromosome-contaminated opinion.
