The tartan shown on the background of this website is the American Saint Andrews Societies Tartan. Modified from the American Bi-Centennial tartan, which was designed in response to an idea put forward by Mr JC Thomson in 1974, that there should be an identifying tartan for American Saint Andrews and Caledonian societies, and to commemorate the American Bi-Centennial (1776-1976). Modification from the American Bi-Centennial Tartan to the American Saint Andrews Societies Tartan was done by Jamie Scarlett MBE. A sample of this tartan is available at the Scottish Tartans Authority collection in Scotland.
