Orcadian Tartan

Historical Context

The Orcadian Tartan celebrates the rich heritage of the Orkney Islands, off Scotland’s northeastern coast. Woven by island clans since the 18th century, it symbolized identity, unity, and resilience. Promoted by figures like Sir Walter Scott during the Scottish Enlightenment, this tartan reflects the enduring spirit of the Orcadian people. Even during the Second World War, it served as a reminder of the islands’ proud traditions and community strength.

Color Scheme & Pattern

Featuring bold black and gray stripes, the Orcadian Tartan represents strength, determination, and balance.
