House of Edgar registered their County Tartans in 1996/97. Gaelic Themes copyrighted their County Crest tartans in 2005.

The counties DO NOT OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZE them (nor does the Irish Government recognize the Irish National or Ireland's National). They are considered "Fashion Tartans".

The Solid color Saffron kilts (a goldish brown color) are the most "traditional" in the fact that they are colored to look like the Irish Liene (the "kilt like thing" that the Irish wore long ago). For more history on that, talk to Matt Newsome from the Tartan Museum.
