ROXBURGH (ANCIENT) - Tartans beginning with 'N' a book produced between 1829-1842Thought to be pre 1850. taken from a silk swatch in Patterson's pattern book. Source given as M Castro the handloom weaver. Now generally accepted as the District tartan rather than the newer alternative Roxburgh. Roxburgh is in the heart of the Borders region of Scotland.
