Argentina Tartan Kilt
Made for a very nice gentleman. Designed by the St Andrew's Society of the River Plate for Scots living in Argentina. Designed on 28th June 1995 by the cultural sub-committee of the St Andrews Society of the River Plate, formed by Pamela Johnston Dickin (descendant of the first settlers) and Edward Macrae, President of the Society in 1994-1997. It is based on the sett of the Robertson tartan honouring John and William Robertson, two Scotsmen from Kelso. 220 Scottish emigrants left the port of Leith on board the 'Symmetry' and arrived in Buenos Aires on 8 August 8 1825, settling on a ranch 20 miles south-west of the city in the area of Monte Grande and called 'Santa Catalina. Colours: the tartan combines the colours of the Argentine and Scottish flags, showing the amalgamation of the two cultures; blue, navy blue and white are part of the iconography used in sports and national symbols typically representing Argentina. Enjoy!
