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.

Colours:
The black, brown and gold together create the colour palette of raw crude oil, the brightest element in the tartan (the gold accent) also alluding to the iconic burning flare boom of the North Sea oil rigs.
. . .
The black square (or pivot) in the tartan represents the discovered and developed oil well, with the emanating black stripe depicting the extraction and flow of oil for development and commercialisation.
. . .
The dark blue represents the North Sea, with the resultant dark blue shade (as when woven together with the black) portraying the associated gas industry.
. . .
The alternating light and dark grey stripes represents the sedimentary nature of the sea bed ...with the pivot itself depicting a seismic grid, or map. The three prominent lighter grey stripes also significantly representing the three castles of Aberdeen City's Coat of Arms.
. . .
Due to this enterprising city's long term contribution to the development and commercialisation of North Sea oil, it became known internationally as the Oil Capital of Europe.
