The Pope's visit to Scotland has brought an unexpected boost for Scottish tartan producers.
Millions watched as Pope Benedict XVI donned a special tartan scarf made in his honour at the start of his state visit to the UK.

The scarf was seen by millions around the world as Cardinal Keith O'Brien draped it over the Pope's shoulders.
