Welsh National District Tartan WR1523

|
| The Welsh Tartan owes its origin to a Society formed in
Cardiff in 1967. Its aims were cultural and political - to
strengthen Celtic ties and give visible signs of being an
individual nation in culture, language and dress. The
colours are those of the Welsh flag. It is said that the
design was based on the Lord of the Isles tartan because
the present Lord is also Prince of Wales. However
comparison reveals similarity only to MacDonald,
MacDonald of the Isles, or perhaps Applecross district.
