and a couple more - the Arctic and Antarctic tartans

[Barb T]

Ros is a geologist, and she's also designed an Isle of Mull tartan that is based on the geology of Mull (and sale benefits Isle of Mull charities). It's beautiful and unusual, and you can see it on the same site I listed above.

All of her tartans are woven in 11-12 oz weight by D. C. Dalgliesh. While this is a lightweight tartan, it makes a beautiful kilt. Anyone who goes to Highland games and sees dancers competing will see kilts in tartan of this weight woven by Dalgliesh - they are the primary weavers of tartans for competitive dancers. Although it sounds like a small difference, their 11-12 oz tartan is noticeably different than other mill's 11 oz and conspicuously heavier than say, for example, Lochcarron's Reiver weight (10 oz).

Cheers!
