The Modern Douglas Tartan is as worn by the Cameronians (Scottish Rifles), the famous Scottish lowland regiment who can trace their history from the days of the Covenanters in 1689 until their disbandment in 1968. As a lowland regiment, the Cameronians wore tartan trews (trousers) and not the highland kilt.
LOW STOCK WARNING . . . Modern Douglas tartan ribbon is made exclusively for us and we're down to the last 100 reels. The current exchange rate means it is unlikely we will be able re-order this ribbon in the immediate future as it would almost double in price. We hope to have more stocks (and new widths) later in 2009 but, meantime, we strongly advise ordering now for weddings etc taking place during Spring-Summer of 2009.
The Modern Douglas Tartan Ribbon has a dark blue and green undercheck, based on the Government tartan (The Black Watch) and common to most military tartans, with a white overcheck. Ancient Douglas Tartan Ribbon (brighter blue) is also available in 10mm, 16mm, 25mm and 38mm widths if you prefer.
