- Registration date
- This tartan was recorded prior to the launch of The Scottish Register of Tartans.
- Notes
- Designed in response to an idea put forward by Mr JC Thomson in 1974, that there should be an identifying tartan for American St Andrews and Caledonian societies. Where the lighter stripes cross each other in the dark blue, there is an effect of the stars of the American flag. The thirteen alternate red and white stripes appear in the full sett of the tartan. This tartan started life as the American Bi-Centennial but was then modified and the name changed to American St Andrews Societies.
