About This Tartan
Designed for the wedding of Princess Louise, daughter of Edward VII, to Alexander Duff, the first Duke of Fife. The tartan was called Duke and Duchess of Fife, and were the same except for where the Duke of Fife had red lines, the Duchess of Fife had blue. While the Duchess of Fife tartan is no longer in production, the Duke of Fife is. It has remained popular because it has been used as a district tartan for Fife, and is in fact more often referred to as the Fife District tartan, or simply the Fife tartan, than the Duke of Fife tartan.
