LISTEN: New Tartan Marks Grantown's Birthday
The design has been created to celebrate the town's 250th anniversary this weekend.
A new tartan has been created to celebrate the 250th birthday of a Highland town.
The special pattern has been designed to mark Grantown's anniversary.
The town will be covered in the design for 8 days of festivities starting this weekend.
MFR News speaks with designer Lindsey Patton...
Designer Lindsey Patton said: “Historically Grantown was a weaving town so I thought it was very apt for the celebrations to have its own tartan.
“The new Grantown tartan is based on the old Grant tartan but it has a bright yellow flash going through it which reflects the Grantown 250 logo.
"The yellow stripe makes it more modern, but the design is sympathetic to the old Grant tartan too with the other colours looking quite ancient.”
