A History of Inverness Modern Tartan

The Inverness tartan was, or is claimed to have been, designed and made for His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex about 1822. The Duke was also Earl of Inverness and the tartan was named in honour of his Scottish title. His late Majesty King George VI wore it, as did the present Queen when a small girl. It was the first tartan to appear as a colour illustration in any book on tartans.
