Each tie is gift boxed and made in Scotland from fine 10oz Oil tartan in 100% pure new wool, woven on the Isle of Bute. Created to commemorate North Sea Oil®, the tartan not only recognises the economic significance of oil, Scotland's black gold®, but also remembers the challenges ...and personal sacrifices made by oil and gas workers in the North Sea Oil and Gas Industry. The tartan pays tribute to Brendan McKeown OBE (1925-2011), the petroleum engineer famously credited with bringing ashore the UK's first sample of North Sea Oil in a pickle jar on the 16th September 1969. This inaugural finding of the first commercialised North Sea oil well has been recognised as a seminal moment in Scotland's industrial history. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1,969 Numbered and Certificated Neck Ties . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . £34 (Introductory Offer - RRP £39) Order Now for Pre-Christmas Delivery - 2017!
