This article has been rated as Low-importance on the project's importance scale.

See drop-down box for suggested article edit guidelines:

Be bold - if you know something about Cornwall then put it in! We value your contributions and don't be afraid if your spelling isn't great as there are plenty of spelling and grammar experts on clean-up duty!
Articles on settlements in Cornwall should be written using the standard set of headings approved by the UK geography WikiProject's guideline How to write about settlements.
At WikiProject Cornwall we subscribe to the policies laid down by Wikipedia - particularly civility and consensus building. We are aware that the wording on Cornish entries can sometimes be a contentious topic, especially those concerning geography. You don't have to agree with everything but there is no excuse for rudeness and these things are best solved through consensus building and compromise. For more information see WP:CornwallGuideline.
These pages are not platforms for political discussion. Issues relating to Cornish politics should be restricted to those pages that directly deal with these issues (such as Constitutional status of Cornwall, Cornish nationalism, etc) and should not overflow into other articles.
Most of all have fun editing - that's the reason we all do this, right?!

Untitled[edit]

I merged Cornish national tartan into this page. Much of the material was duplicated already; there doesn't seem to me to be a need for two separate pages. Terraxos 02:23, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Incidentally, "bracae" is the Latin for "trousers", and nothing to do with tunics or checks. Deipnosophista (talk) 10:21, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's the root for "britches" & "breeks", I believe. Archolman 18:48, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Officially registered" tartans[edit]

As of now this article states "The following Cornish tartans have been officially registered or have been previously officially registered" and then goes on with a list of tartans with registry numbers. However, there are no refs to support this. It looks like the registry numbers are just the numbers used by the Scottish Tartans World Register which is has nothing to do with being "official", as anyone can "register" a tartan with them. Even the Cornish National Tartan doesn't have a real reference to a government website, only to genealogy webpage and another site which sells tartans.--Celtus (talk) 10:27, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the only "official" tartan seems to be Cornish National Tartan. The others are still seem to be non notable and piggy-backing there way into the article. I propose moving the article to Cornish National Tartan. What do you think Talskiddy?--Celtus (talk) 07:58, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Where on this webpage [1] does it state "There is early evidence of the use of kilts in Cornish as seen on the bench end at Altarnun church dated circa 1510."?--Celtus (talk) 09:22, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Click for further pictures from Alternun Church"? The link [2] doesn't even discus tartan at all.--Celtus (talk) 06:38, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

On reflection this article is very badly worded and seems to contain dubious references, firstly the Cornish National Tartan seems to have been invented in 1963 (not 1953) at the invitation of a yet unsourced group who were encouraging the celtic nations to adopt a tartan, The first "proper" reference to Cornish kilt is about 1909 when I beleive Henry Jenner wore a scottish tartan kilt of some description at a meeting of the celtic congress, later the Gorseth adopted a black kilt. Although the Cornish National Tartan and Cornish Hunting Tartan are widely used, others are gaining popularity in Cornwall. The references to Altarnun Church are quite correctly highlighted by Celtus as being "hokey" their real interest being in the bagpipes not the "kilted" figures. Before I ammend this article I need proper references - But it does need doing badly!! Reedgunner (talk) 16:03, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Literature[edit]

I thought this poem, from the biographical page: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nancegc/cornwall.htm#section1tartan deserved a place. However, I'm not sure if: Bedheugh benytha kernewek! translates to: March of the Cornish tartan.

Possible Error[edit]

This article may have the wrong image for STA no. 1262. Aqchampion (talk) 08:39, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yep. the "Cornish National Day" entry is just showing a lightened blowup of "Cornish National". The correct tartan can be found here. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 17:37, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
