The Scotland Auburn harness is the best-known pattern of the royal House of Stewart, which is also known as the Monarchs of Scotland and is the personal tartan of Queen Elizabeth II. The intricate design composed of red, yellow, blue, green and white are carefully weaved so that each thread in the warp crosses each thread in the weft at right angles creating a beautiful sett pattern of colours. The richness of the golden embroidery gives the composition a sense of royalty and the mahogany brown leatherette ribbing warmth's the amber plaid fabric. To symbolize their official uniform wear, the clan chief and patrol leaders wear this particular fabric. With the alpha dog also known as the chief and the "leader of the pack", this design portrays leadership, braveness and loyalty.
