Independence Day

This tartan was created to honour those countries in which the designer Amanda Brenchley has lived as a citizen: Great Britain, Canada, and the United States of America. The colours can be described as pillar-box red, white, delft blue, and bright sky blue, and represent the combined colours of those countries' flags.
