Territorial tartan | City of Canberra tartan | - | The City of Canberra tartan was recorded in 1997, and has since been registered in the Scottish Register of Tartans (SRT). [2] [3] Technically, the tartan is registered as a fashion tartan, not a district tartan. [2] It has also not been formally adopted as an official emblem either of the city, or of the ACT. [4] However, the tartan is supported by the ACT government and is worn by Canberra's official town crier. [4] |
