The Pitlochry Tartan Story

launched in March 2010 with a fashion show featuring some of
Highland Perthshire's most promising young models. The orginal idea
came from Janet Washington of Claire Charles Designs supportrd by
Kathleen Scott as Chair of Pitlochry Community Council.
The Pitlochry Tartan uses colours that are
seen when you visit Highland Perthshire, blue, green and
purple with a white and gold strip.
Purple represents the
Heather, Green for the
Woodlands, Dark Blue the Lochs and
Light Blue the Rivers,
Gold for the Autumn
leaves.

Highland Fashion Fling' at Fishers Hotel in
Pitlochry. Over 200 people attended, with standing room only for
many, as they were treated to a show that really fitted this
important occassion. There are a few images taken by Kathleen
Rattray of Killiecrankie in the photo gallery of this show,
unfortunately the lighting in the room was not conducive to taking
good photos by amateurs.
