Of interest to many Scots, a new tartan was unveiled yesterday to honour the Pope’s first visit to Scotland.
Called the St. Ninian’s Day Tartan, it was designed by Matthew Newsome of North Carolina. Its colours incorporate those of Scotland, the Vatican, Cardinal Newman’s crest and that of the lichens growing on stones at Whithorn in Galloway where St. Ninian first landed over 1,600 years ago.
His Holiness arrives in Scotland on 16 September, St. Ninian’s Day, where he will be received by the Queen in Edinburgh. He will be presented with the limited edition tartan that day by Cardinal Keith Patrick O'Brien, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of St. Andrews and Edinburgh.
The question is: Will the Pope ever be seen wearing the tartan and in what form?
