| The best known of all Scottish tartans, the Royal Stewart
is the tartan of the Royal House of Stewart and the
personal tartan of Her Majesty the Queen. In the same
way that clansmen wear the tartan of their chief, it is
appropriate for all subjects of the Queen to wear the Royal
Stewart tartan. The pattern was first published by James
Logan in his book, 'The Scottish Gael' in 1831, but
references indicate that the sett was known at the end of
the 18th century. Early samples show blue as a light
'azure'.
