Cornish Hunting Tartan (MacKenzie) Blackwatch Tartan Ribbon Blackberry Tartan Ribbon


A modern tartan, thoughtfully researched and designedeach colour in the Cornish National Tartan has a special meaning: the single white overcheck on black creating the cross of St. Piran's banner, the flag of Cornwall. Legend says the colours came about when St Piran (the patron saint of tinners) watched molten tin spill from the black ore in his fire. The black and gold are the colours of the ancient Cornish kings; the red is for the beak and legs of the Chough (the Cornish national bird) and the light blue is for the sea, which surrounds Cornwall on three sides. All this has been lovingly and beautifully been rendered into this new ribbon !
