William & Mary College Tartan

Historical Significance

The William & Mary College Tartan carries a proud legacy that reflects both Scottish heritage and the history of higher education. Emerging in the early 18th century, tartan became a defining symbol of Scottish identity, clan allegiance, and cultural pride. Rooted in the traditions of the Scottish Highlands, these unique patterns were more than decorative—they represented belonging and heritage. This tartan is named after the College of William & Mary, founded in 1693 and recognized as one of the oldest universities in the United States. Its adoption underscores the lasting impact of Scottish culture on global institutions, especially in shaping educational traditions.

Color Scheme & Pattern

The William & Mary College Tartan is distinguished by a refined color palette of deep green, royal blue, golden yellow, black, and white—each carrying symbolic meaning:

• Deep green reflects the historic, tree-lined campus grounds.

• Royal blue signifies the nearby James River and its enduring vitality.

• Golden yellow embodies academic excellence, achievement, and enlightenment.

• Black and white accents bring clarity, balance, and dignity to the overall design.

Woven from 100% premium acrylic wool, this tartan provides both durability and comfort, making it a versatile choice for ceremonial wear, heritage events, or everyday Scottish attire.
