| The sett of this tartan weaves together the colours of six
Queen's academic hoods: blue (Medicine), red (Arts &
Science), gold (Applied Science), white (Nursing Science),
green (Commerce & MBA), and Purple (Theology).
Among Queen's other Scottish Traditions, inherited from
its Presbyterian founders and the University of Edinburgh,
are its coat of arms, its Gaelic yell, kilted Queen's Bands
with pipers and highland dancers, the posts of Principal
and Rector, and tams for freshmen. Its marketing is
restricted.
