This is what I found on the Scottish Tartans Authority web site:
Name of Tartan: Dunoon Irish
Alternative name: Glasgow Irish Pipe Band
ITI number: 1802 Date: 1935
Category: Pipe Band
Designer / Source: Bayne, Harry
Copyright:
I'm not an STA member so that's all I can discover [HINT] but perhaps someone who is ... [/HINT].
One of the things I like about this tartan is its simplicity. I wonder if it should be the tartan that I use to make my first kilt? Any opinions?
The only additional information available to members is:
"Thread Count:
WW12DG78DO78WW12DO78DG78
Notes:
Designed by a Harry Bayne in 1935. Specimen was in the Coulson Bonnar Clollection (Tartans Society)."
I think you will find that this is not a 'stock' tartan, but is one that would have to be especially woven for you.
