The Cornish Tartans

Like other Celts the Cornish have kilts and tartans. The Cornish kilt is plain black but you can also get kilts in other Cornish tartans.

Cornish National Tartan (registry #1567) designed by E.E. Morton-Nance	CORNISH NATIONAL TARTAN COLOURS Each colour in the National Tartan has a special meaning: White on Black for St. Piran’s Banner (The Patron Saint of Tinners), Black and Gold were the colours of the ancient Cornish kings, Red is for the beak and legs of the Chough, the Cornish National bird, Blue is for the sea surrounding Cornwall. CORNISH HUNTING TARTAN COLOURS The Hunting Tartan incorporates all the colours of the original National Tartan but with a dark green background. It is also said that Royal Blue and Gold were the colours of the Cornish Wrestlers.	Cornish Hunting Tartan (registry #1568) designed by Sandra Redwood in 1984
