Hereditary Standard Bearers of Scotland. Originally designed in 1971 by Trudi Mann and vetted by Donald C Stewart, author of 'The Setts of the Scottish Tartans' Trudi tells of attending the 1971 Gathering of the Clans and having a discussion with Sir Ian Moncrieffe. His wife - a Scrymgeour was wearing an attractive checked blouse and her father said he would like a tartan designed to include those colours. The finished tartan was apparently displayed at a gathering of Scrymgeours held at Dudhope Castle, Dundee, in 1971/2 and was later adopted as the official tartan. Sample in STA Johnston Collection.
