Nor’Westers Ancient Tartan

Historical Context

The Nor’Westers Ancient Tartan carries a meaningful legacy rooted in Scottish history and the early fur trade of the 19th century. Named after the North West Company, this tartan reflects the resilience and adventurous spirit of Scottish Highlanders who journeyed through the rugged landscapes of Canada. It is often linked to notable figures like Simon Fraser, whose exploration shaped the growth of trade routes across North America. The tartan’s vibrant look captures the natural beauty of the forests, rivers, and wild terrain navigated by these pioneering Scots.
