Scotts have introduced a new packaging brand for their front cover, The first major packaging change since 1955 which featured the kilted shot-putter.
This advertising campaign will promote the partnership between the Scottish Rugby Union's 6 nations tournament and the Scotts brand.
the design will feature Scotish Rugby internationalists in their new 6 Nations shirt and kilt.
It certainly seems to be quite impactful and will stimulate interest from kilt wearers and potential kilt wearers as well as those who admire rugby players in kilts
It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.

STWR ref: 2101

Registration notes: Designed by Chris Aitken of Geoffrey Tailor (Highland) Crafts. Sample in Scottish Tartans Authority Johnston Collection. Originally woven by D C Dalgliesh but now said to be woven by Geoffrey (Tailor) themselves. enquiries@geoffreykilts.co.uk. S.R.U. requested that the Navy of their jersey should be prominent, including the green and lilac of the thistle, and the white of the shorts.

Certainly a good looking tartan and good to see that it is being promoted.

Chas, thanks for your help on this, I was not familiar with The Scottish Rugby Tartan but as you say it is a good looking tartan, very attractive.
I will have to get a kilt in this tartan, possibly may get one in Glasgow
Awww--I saw 6 nations and thought about the Iriquois lacrosse team whose colors are yellow, black and purple. That would have been a really wierd kilt. But, I could see it working with an eagle in the pleats.
Nice looking tartan, nonetheless...gotta like the blue and green tartans!

Funny enough I thought the same thing!
I have always tempered my killing with respect for the game pursued. I see the animal not only as a target but as a living creature with more freedom than I will ever have. I take that life if I can, with regret as well as joy, and with the sure knowledge that nature's ways of fang and claw or exposure and starvation are a far crueler fate than I bestow. - Fred Bear
You know, I love Rugby and Scotts Porage Oats and I really like this idea. But I hope it's just a temporary thing. I grew up being told to eat my Porage if I wanted to be like the Scotts Porage Oats man and I'd be sad to see him go permanently.

But Arlen, if you had grown up to look like this Scotts Porage Oats man, well how can I say this. . . your lovely lady would have some competition on her hands LOL

Apparently seeking a new demographic. Now like Wheaties with the sports celebrity du jour on the box. From the press release: "Sean Summers, marketing director for Quaker, said: “This is an exciting partnership for Scott’s. We have always championed Scottish sport and today we are celebrating the heroes of Scottish rugby. Not only are we putting the players on pack, we are also providing porridge to fuel them to win in the Six Nations Championship.” Who will be pictured if Scotland doesn't win? Like you, I'd miss this guy:
