Introduction to the Academic Scarf Registry

The academic scarf traces its roots to the boat clubs of Victorian Oxford and Cambridge. These scarves were initially knitted with horizontal stripes, however the austerity of the second world war led to cheaper production methods where strips of coloured cloth were sewn together, creating the iconic vertical stripes of the modern-day academic scarf. While brightly coloured scarves are not as common a campus feature at British universities today, many universities and colleges still produce scarves.

The University of Stirling

If ever one required a university scarf that could blend into the Scottish countryside then that of the University of Stirling, in green with two grey stripes, would probably be your best bet. This scarf can be purchased from the University of Stirling Students' Union.
