Image: Grant (regimental - Government 15) tartan, tileable
Description: The tartan officially named "Red Grant (Government No. 15)" by the UK Ministry of Defense, and used in some regimental attire (including cap cockade and bandsmen uniforms) of the 32nd Signal Regiment – formerly 51st/52nd (Scottish) Infantry Division Signal Regiment, earlier Lowland Divisional Telegraph Company, amalgamated from the 1st & 2nd Lanarkshire Voluntary Military Engineers. It is a variant of the main Clan Grant tartan, with slightly altered proportions, and with both green and blue darkened, while the red is slightly lighter and more orangey than typical. This regimental tartan is no longer "funded" as part of the MoD uniform specs [1]). The unit began as a Lowland regiment, and after amalgamation (with 51st (Highland) Signal Regiment, et al.) became a pan-Scottish one There is no evidence of clan usage of this variant of the tartan. This image is exactly full-sett, and can tile horizontally and vertically. Scottish Register of Tartans does not have this sett, and it is not available from the MoD, either, and is probably only on file with the regiment somewhere and with whatever weaver they are using. This image and the thread count for it are approximations based on careful examination of photos of actual regimental cloth. This is a usual, mirroring tartan. Thread count (in "/" notation): /SR4 DB4 SR4 DG40 SR4 DG4 SR4 DB10 SR4 A4 S36 DB6 SR4/ (or in boldfacing notation: SR4 DB4 SR4 DG40 SR4 DG4 SR4 DB10 SR4 A4 S36 DB6 SR4), where SR = scarlet red, DB = dark blue, DG = dark green, A = azure.
