The designer of Dunfermline's new city tartan has received official recognition for her creation.

And Fife Provost Jim Leishman showed off his new kilt in the pattern which was designed by Queen Anne High pupil Savannah Mortimer.

The teenager won a competition which tasked local school children to come up with a design to mark Dunfermline's city status.

Dunfermline Press:

Savannah received the tartan registration certificate from Provost Leishman and Charlie Brine, from the Kilt Company in Dunfermline, who came up with the competition idea.

The Provost said they were impressed with the design – and the story behind it.

"The kilt is great," he said. "There were 27 entries and this one really told the story. It tells a great story about Dunfermline.

Dunfermline Press:

"It is a really lovely kilt. In the tartan, you have got the Royal tartan, the Malcolm Canmore tartan, Robert the Bruce tartan, and the gold for the weaving and the coal mining is represented as well.

"There's a white part which is Andrew Carnegie's hair. So if someone says why is it the city of Dunfermline tartan, the colours all tell the story about the city.

"They were only allowed six or seven colours I think to go in the tartan. She tried to fit as much of the historical things in. It is brilliant – it really is terrific."

Dunfermline Press:

Provost Leishman was pleased to see the new city now has its own tartan and said efforts were continuing behind the scenes to ensure they capitalise on the honour.

"Things are happening all the time — it took 10 to 11 years to get the city status but there is a lot of hard work in front of us to get the benefits.

"Hopefully people will come to the place as it is beautiful. Dunfermline is a beautiful place. When we stay in it, we maybe don't appreciate it as much as we should. I just think it is a fantastic place and I am proud to be part of it.

"I think when you google Dunfermline and you see it is one of a few cities in Scotland, people will say there must be something of interest there.

"People are working on the economic advantages as that is important. That all takes a bit longer but we are getting on with it."

Third year art students at the city's four high schools were asked to come up with the new tartan after The Kilt Company in Dunfermline approached Fife Council with the idea.

Framed samples of the City of Dunfermline tartan will be displayed at the City Chambers, Queen Margaret Hospital and Carnegie Museum.
