Happy St Andrew's Day, November 30th!

 

St. Andrew is the patron saint of Scotland and of Barbados, Ukraine, Russia, Sicily, Greece, Cyprus, Romania,  Prussia, and many more cities and ecclesiastical territories.

 

He is the patron saint of fishermen, fishmongers, rope-makers, singers, spinsters, maidens, old maids, and women wishing to be mothers.  He is traditionally appealed to by sufferers of gout and of sore throats.

 

Created originally to celebrate the Seven Hundredth Anniversary of the game of bowling at The World Bowling Championships at Northfield Park Ayr in the year 2004,  this tartan has since been adopted to commemorate St. Andrew, the patron saint of Scotland. 

 

The colours incorporate the blue and white of the St. Andrew's Cross with the purple and green of the thistle.
