Description: | The Common Riding, or Return to the Ridings, tartan was designed by School of Textiles and Design student Emma Daniels-Arthur and woven by Robert Noble of Peebles. The tartan was designed for the Common Ridings event in the Borders to celebrate Homecoming Scotland events to mark the 250th anniversary of the birth of Robert Burns. The tartan has a green background to represent the Borders countryside, and incorporates a reflective yarn which includes minute glass beads and reflects the light back to the source, The concept was to marry the traditional tartan design with a modern technical yarn. The fabric was used by School of Textiles and Design staff Jane Robertson and Sandra Darling to make a coat and waistcoat for the Peebles Beltane Festival Cornet Gareth Harrison, and a coat for his Lass Laura Robson. | Source: | Heriot-Watt University | Address: | Mary Burton Centre, Level 1 Cameron Smail Librar, Heriot-Watt University,,
