Launched at Edinburgh Castle in March 2012 by The Help for Heroes charity the tartan was inspired by two former soldiers, George Neil and Bill McGregor, who both served with 2nd Battalion The Royal Regiment of Scotland before leaving the Army.
The Help for Heroes tartan takes the recognised colours of the British Armed Forces including navy blue for the Royal Navy, the lighter blue of Royal Air Force and red for the Army. The result is a really striking tartan which works well for clothing and accessories.
