College Tartan and Gifts
College Tartan
The
RCGP Scotland Tartan was commissioned and donated to the college by
Dr Bill Reith FRCGP in November 2002 to mark his period as Chairman
of Scottish Council from 2000-2003. The tartan was commissioned
especially for RCGP Scotland based on the sett of the Clan Scott
tartan and was designed using the colours that make up the
college's coat of arms. Richard Scott was the Scottish Memeber of
the steering group of the college and was a key figure in the
formation of Scottish Council, of which he was Honorary Secretary
from 1953-1969. He was appointed Professor of General Practice at
the University of Edinburgh, the first Chair of General Practice in
the world, in 1963.
The
tartan was designed by Kinloch Anderson, a family based firm in
Edinburgh who are one of the world's leading specialists in
tartan.
The RCGP Scotland Tartan
is unique and has been recorded in the Scottish Tartans World
Register.
Using the tartan donated
by Dr Bill Reith FRCGP, RCGP Scotland have produced Tartan Ties and
Silk backed Tartan Scarves, which are now available for purchase.
The cost of the Tartan Tie is £18.50 and the
Tartan Scarf is priced at £10. We have a limited
number of these items available, so if you are interested, please
