1999 Recorded prior to the launch of the Scottish Register of Tartans (SRT) in 2009,[1][2] and also registered in the SRT as a district tartan.[1] Although it is not included in the lists of State emblems and symbols published by the legislative and executive arms of the government of Tasmania,[3][4] its entry in the SRT, and the corresponding web page of the Scottish Tartans Authority website, both assert that it was recognised in 1999 as the official State tartan.[1][2]
