Historical Significance

Explore centuries of Scottish tradition with the Banff & Buchan District Tartan. This tartan traces its roots back to the earliest annals of Scottish history in the rugged landscapes of Banff and Buchan. Inspired by the natural beauty of this historic district, it was meticulously designed around 1995. Scotland’s oldest tartan symbolizes the deep connection between land and lineage as it embodies the resilience and heritage of generations past. Tartans from Banff and Buchan District are especially valuable to the Buchan family, which supports the Stewart cause unwaveringly. This tartan embodies their legacy of valor and leadership. Symbolizing Scotland’s enduring spirit, the badge features a radiant sunflower and the motto “Non Inferiora Secutus” (Not Following the Inferior). This tartan serves as a bridge between past and present, connecting us to the stories and struggles of those who came before, and standing as a testament to Scotland’s cultural heritage.

Color Scheme & Pattern

The Banff & Buchan District Tartan displays a light navy background with thick dark midnight blue stripes, along with thin white and yellow lines.
