A brand new tartan has been launched to symbolise the Borders countryside and the land which our Common Ridings were designed to protect. A Scotland's Homecoming 'Return to the Ridings' initiative, it was designed by Emma Arthur-Daniels a Heriot-Watt University textiles masters student. Her design blends the traditional values of the Border Common Ridings with modern yarns. With the common riding season well underway now, the tartan will have an increasingly high profile in the Borders throughout the summer. The eleven towns participating in Return to the Ridings are represented in the tartan with the inclusion of their colours in the tartan over-checks.
