    As vmac says there was a Tartan designed back in 1993 and called the City of Victoria. It was registered with the STA but for some reason never taken to City Council for adoption.

    I've only ever seen one swatch of it when a customer brought this into my shop.





    And Piperdown is correct. The Greater Victoria Police Pipe Band has their own Tartan and wear it proudly.



    I'm sorry this pic is dark but it is one of the few that I have of two X Markers. Here are both Macman(right) and Piperdown(right) playing with the band.

    I wear the kilt because:
    Swish + Swagger = Swoon.

    Steve,

    Beautiful design and woven in really nice shades. This is definitely an example of a new design that can hold it's own with Wilsons' setts. Bravo Zulu!
