Urquhart Broad Red Ancient Tartan

Historical Context

The Urquhart Broad Red Ancient Tartan is deeply rooted in Scottish heritage, representing the proud legacy of the Urquhart clan, famously linked to the historic Urquhart Castle on the banks of Loch Ness. More than just a fabric, this tartan has long served as a symbol of clan identity, unity, and pride, worn by both nobility and common clansmen. For centuries, tartans have embodied Scottish culture, marking affiliations and regional connections. The Urquhart clan itself is celebrated through influential figures such as Sir Thomas Urquhart, the 17th-century philosopher and translator, whose contributions to Scottish history further elevate the tartan’s cultural significance.

Color Scheme and Pattern

• Crimson red represents strength, courage, and the warrior spirit of the Urquhart clan.
• Gray reflects loyalty, wisdom, and resilience, qualities revered in clan leadership.

The intricate check pattern, interwoven with fine lines, reflects the storytelling tradition and artistry inherent in Scottish tartan weaving.
