Sandra, that revived/recreated tartan is beautiful.
The first mention of tartan was in 1538, but now there are thought to be around 7,000 unique tartans in the world - even former US President Obama and Hello Kitty have their own tartan!
The first mention - I wonder what kind of document houses that mention? And I wonder if there are paintings of tartans that far back?
