This tartan was named in honor of the Duke's Scottish title and holds a special place in history as the first tartan to be featured in color illustrations in a book dedicated to tartans. Notably, this tartan has been worn by members of the royal family, including King George VI and Queen Elizabeth II during her youth. Its significance is deeply rooted in the cultural heritage of Inverness-shire, making it a symbol of elegance and tradition.
