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
specialistsin 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
