Last week the first batch of a new, specially designed Oor Wullie tartan starting coming off the looms to be made into a range of products, including scarves and kilts. A Broons tartan is also being developed.
Oor Wullie's tartan, made in Scotland from 100 percent wool, features the colours red, yellow, grey back and white.
The bright red represents the hackles on the Black Watch bonnets (Wullie's Uncle Wattie was a member).
The silver grey stands for Wullie's bucket and his faithful pet, Jeemie the mouse
The black is for his dungarees and the yellow for his tousled gold locks that never see a comb
The three red lines on the yellow stand for his best pals - Fat Bob, Soapy Soutar and Wee Eck

Brian Walton, director of Scottish Tartans Authority came up with the design.
'It was fun creating the tartan and an honour, as Oor Wullie is such a part of Scotland's heritage'

The tartan is made by the House of Edgar, based in Perth and should be ready for Xmas and will be officially registered with the Scottish Register of Tartans in Edinburgh.

Naturally Wullie was the first to get his hands on the tartan in his comic strip this week.He said' I'm proud tae wear a kilt in my very ain tartan, though being a true Scots laddie I'll no be sae keen to sit on my cauld bucket wi' it on'
