Designed in December 1981 by Peter E.MacDonald. Commemorates the 250th Anniversary of founding of Georgia but is now widely regarded as the Georgia State tartan. Was designed at the suggestion of Dr Micheil MacDonald following discussions with officers of Stone Mountain Games. The design was based on a combination of the 42nd or Government tartan and an old MacIntosh fragment recorded in Stewart's 'Setts of the Scottish Tartans. In 1982 it was presented to the then Governor - Governor George Busby and was not adopted as the official State tartan by the State legislature until 1st May 1997.
