• Notes: Designed by Arthur Mackie of Strathmore Woollens for USN personnel at Edzell radar base in Angus, Scotland. There is an effort to erroneously call this "the" U.S. Navy tartan but it has no official sanction. Neckties have appeared, and navy men are wearing it in kilts at U.S.A. Scottish games. A report in Nov. 2007 "At the end of his talk, a former Army soldier, Larry MacDuff of Port Ludlow, presented Symonds [ Rear Adm. James A. Symonds,} with a shirt with the Navy tartan." Not known yet what tartan that was but it's assumed it was this one. An alternative count exists in the archives: BN/16 R4 BN66 W8 R16 NB/104 BN is blue grey.
