The Waverley Holyrood large notebook is hardback, 21 x 13cm, with 192 pages of 80gsm, FSC acid-free paper bound in Holyrood tartan. The Holyrood tartan is a blend of blues, greys and brown fretted with yellow.
The
Holyrood Tartan was created in 1977 to coincide with the celebration of
the Silver Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s Coronation (2nd
June, 1953). The sett is based on Royal Stewart but with navy blue as
the predominant colour, and overchecks of brown, light blue, green, gold
and white.
Holyrood is an area in Edinburgh, where Holyrood
Palace (also called the Palace of Holyroodhouse), the ruins of Holyrood
Abbey, Holyrood Park and the Scottish Parliament are situated. Holyrood
Palace is the Queen’s official Scottish residence and it is located in
the Canongate area at the foot of the Royal Mile, the street so named
because it runs for one mile between Holyrood Palace and Edinburgh
Castle. The site was originally of a monastery founded by King David I
of Scotland in 1128. He chose this spot on which to build it because he
is said to have seen a haily ruid (anglicised to 'holy rood'),
meaning holy cross, in the sky over this location. Here, many of the
kings of Scotland were crowned, married or buried. The Palace itself was
built in 1498, then severely damaged in 1544 by the Earl of Hertford’s
troops and again a century later by Cromwell’s army and restored in the
1670s by Sir William Bruce on the orders of Charles II.
The year
of the Queen’s Silver Jubilee was marked by many celebrations, and Her
Majesty made tours all over the British Isles and the Commonwealth to
meet her subjects.
Each year, the Queen hosts “Holyrood Week” –
usually from the end of June to the beginning of July – to celebrate
Scottish culture and achievements, and which includes a garden party at
the Palace of Holyroodhouse.
