TARTANS OF CANADA
PROVINCE OF PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND
DESCRIPTION
This tartan was designed and registered in 1959 by Mrs Elizabeth Jean MacLean Reed of Covehead as a result of a competition to design a tartan for the island.
The colours she chose she described as follows:
The warmth and glow of the fertile soil,
The green of field and tree,
The yellow and brown of Autumn,
The white of surf or a summer snow,
Rust, green, yellow and white,
Yes! That’s our Island Tartan.
