A huge thank you goes out to Matthew Newsome, curator of the Scottish Tartans Museum, for his professional expertise and guidance in helping me realize the design and recording of the Fitzsimmons Tartan. Without him, the tartan would not have become a reality.

In addition, Mark Simmons (macsim here at Xmarks) is to be recognized for his steadfast patience and continued support in the design of the tartan. My sincere gratitude goes out to him for his thoughtful input and assistance, especially for helping finalize the tartan’s colors. Thank you, Mark.
