Walters Tartan

Historical Context of the Walters Tartan

The Walters Tartan was designed by Dr. Philip D. Smith Jr. in 1996, specifically for Dr. Shirley Walters. Although it was created before the official establishment of The Scottish Register of Tartans, this design reflects a deep connection to Scottish heritage and clan identity.

Associated with notable figures in Scottish history, the Walters Tartan embodies the resilience, pride, and enduring spirit of the Scottish people. Throughout the centuries, tartans have played a defining role in Scotland’s cultural evolution—particularly during the Jacobite uprisings, when they became powerful symbols of resistance, unity, and national identity.

Color Scheme & Pattern

The Walters Tartan features a classic palette of teal, blue, and green, symbolizing strength, sophistication, and connection to nature.

• Teal evokes tranquility and balance, mirroring the serene beauty of the Scottish landscape.

• Blue signifies loyalty and depth, representing the steadfastness of the clans.

• Green reflects growth and unity, celebrating Scotland’s lush highlands and enduring legacy.

The bold check pattern unites these colors in a timeless design that embodies both tradition and modern elegance. Crafted from 100% acrylic wool, this tartan offers durability, comfort, and easy maintenance, making it ideal for both formal and everyday wear.
