Tartan heritage
This Finder entry is a catalogue colourway linked for heritage context to the official Register entry Dunlop, recorded in the Clan/Family category. The public record does not name an individual designer. It gives a design date of 1 January 1982. The design was documented before the present Scottish Register of Tartans was launched.

Design & colour
Broad purple and black bands anchor the sett. Finer blue and red lines cross through them, adding rhythm, contrast and definition to the repeating pattern.
The purple and black tones form the foundation, while blue and red sharpen the design. Repeated across the horizontal and vertical, these lines build the balanced check that gives the tartan its character.
Colour swatches show broad colour families and may differ from the exact woven shade.

Many designs are also worn simply for their appearance. Some designs have recorded restrictions or permission requirements, so check the tartan record or ask us before ordering if you are unsure.
