Tartan Design Information

Originally designed by Mike King of Philip King Tailoring, Aberdeen in 1998. The design was adopted by the National Trust of Scotland for Fyvie Castle in Aberdeenshire. The idea of a spirit comes from a curse put on the castle many years ago by Thomas O’Rienus who said that the castle would never pass from Father to Son. Predictably, the castle was handed down to the daughters and a different family now own it. This tartan can be worn by anyone and has no clan affiliation.
