For anyone following the story of the proposed new official Scottish Register of Tartans, here’s some rather important news from the Scottish Parliament. A major milestone was reached yesterday:

The Presiding Officer: The fifth question is, that motion S3M-2072, in the name of Jamie McGrigor, on the Scottish Register of Tartans Bill, be agreed to.

Motion agreed to.

That the Parliament agrees to the general principles of the Scottish Register of Tartans Bill.
