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. About the notebook: This notebook is made with
cloth woven in mills in the United Kingdom. Notebook pages and
paper components are made with 80 gsm acid-free paper from
sustainable forests. Boards used in the binding process are made of
100% recycled paper. This hardback notebook is bound in genuine
British tartan cloth with an elastic closure, ribbon market, eight
perforated end leaves and expandable inner note holder. It contains
a removable booklet about the history of clan tartans, and a
bookmark that gives information on the Holyrood tartan.
