Paterson Ancient Tartan

Historical Context

The Paterson Ancient Tartan is deeply connected to the Paterson family, whose roots trace back to the Lowlands of Scotland. The name “Paterson” means “Son of Patrick,” a historically significant name in Scottish culture. The clan’s motto, “Huc Tendimus Omnes” (We All Strive For This), reflects their determination, purpose, and resilience. The family crest features a dexter hand holding a laurel branch, symbolizing victory and achievement. While not a large or widely known clan, the Patersons have played an important role in Scotland’s rich historical tapestry.

Color Scheme and Pattern

The Paterson Ancient Tartan showcases a classic mix of green, blue, black, accented with thin red and white stripes. Each color carries meaningful symbolism:

• Green: Represents Scotland’s lush landscapes

• Blue: Evokes the Highland skies and serene lochs

• Red: Symbolizes courage and strength

• White: Adds clarity and balance

The balanced, square-patterned layout creates a timeless and elegant look, suitable for formal occasions, casual wear, or heritage events. Crafted from 100% acrylic wool, this tartan ensures durability, comfort, and lasting beauty.
