The Scottish Tartans Authority was formed in 1996 by Scotland\'s leading weavers and tartan retailers and enjoys a unique mix of governors from both the private and commercial sectors. We were immediately joined by our kindred spirit in the USA - the International Association of Tartan Studies (IATA) and the Tartan Educational and Cultural Association (TECA) and a representative from those bodies serves on our Board of Governors.
The Scottish Register of Tartans (the Register) is a national repository of tartan designs. It is an on-line website database facility maintained by the National Archives of Scotland, an executive agency of the Scottish Government.
Visiting the Fringe festival should be on everyone's to do before I die list! Edinburgh is transformed into an amazing place during the 6 or so weeks the festival runs for!
