Nova Scotia Tartan Evening Bag Purses and Bags the skilled freehand embroidery artistThe Nova Scotia Tartan was the first official provincial tartan in Canada! The Nova Scotia Tartan was originally designed in 1953 for the Agricultural Exhibition in Truro. Mrs. Douglas Murray, an artisan, designed a panel for a historical display showing a shepherd tending his flock on the hills of Cape Breton. To avoid favouring any particular clan tartan, she designed a new tartan for the shepherd's kilt. The vivid blue tartan received rave reviews.
