History of Tartan in Scotland
The story of tartan is deeply woven into Scotland's ancient history. Originating in the early centuries, tartan was initially crafted using natural dyes to create unique patterns distinct to each tribe and clan. These patterns held a significant meaning, serving as a form of identification and a way to showcase one's regional or family ties. As techniques advanced, tartan patterns evolved, becoming more complex and colourful, reflecting the diverse cultures within Scotland and its 500+ clans.
During historical periods of strife, such as the Jacobite rebellions and subsequent wars, tartan took on a more political role. It was even banned by the Dress Act of 1746, following the Battle of Culloden, as part of an effort to suppress Highland culture. However, the ban only heightened the cultural significance of tartan, leading to its resurgence in later years as a cherished symbol of Scottish pride.
In contemporary times, tartan remains a beloved aspect of Scottish culture, and it is celebrated by our designer Scottish brand. We are taking tartan into the future with innovative designs and high-quality craftsmanship, keeping the tradition alive and appealing.
