While on the GNK website this morning, looking for any news about "The Nursing Tartan," I came across what I assume is a relatively new tartan being sold by them which someone has named "The Holyrood Tartan." That made me wonder just how non-family tartans are named. Did someone at the Scottish Parliament have an official role in that designation? How about tartans named for organizations, such as US States, or branches of the US Military? Or is it "anything goes," so long as it doesn't infringe on another registered design or registered tartan name?
