Celebrate Scotland, Brazil, and football with a new tartan. Support IPA Scotland while you do!

We are delighted to announce our newest fundraising effort, with a difference!

Faroque Hussain from the Brazilian consulate worked with Slanj Kilts to create a new tartan called the ‘Spirit of Brazil’. We were so delighted with the design, created by Indie Menzies, a 6-year-old pupil from Largs. We think she’s probably the youngest tartan designer ever! The tartan is to celebrate the story of Charlie Miller, the Scotsman widely credited with introducing the game of football to Brazil.

Slanj Kilts are generously donating 20% of sales to IPA Scotland and IPA Brazil. To find out more and order any of the products go to the website.

You can also read more about how Indie and her fellow pupils got involved here.
