Musselburgh Tartan Fabric

Reiver 10oz Tartan Fabric, sold by the yard, 150cm wide.

Musselburgh Light Weight Tartan. The pattern was devised for the Musselburgh "Riding of the Marches" celebrations of 1956. It incorporates the Blue and White of Musselburgh, the Blue and Yellow of the Fisherrow fishermen, and the Red of the Musselburgh Crusaders Riding Club. The Riding of the Marches traditionally took place every 21 years, and such had been the case for some 400 years. The 1974 event was brought forward to accommodate the forthcoming "Regionalisation" and a revival is planned for 1995.
