Cornish Hunting Tartan (MacKenzie)
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 !
