Arbutus Tartan

Historical Context

The Arbutus Tartan is deeply rooted in Scottish Highland heritage, where tartans have long symbolized clan identity and regional pride. Traditionally woven from wool, tartans provided warmth, durability, and practicality while also reflecting family lineage and belonging. During the Jacobite risings of the 18th century, tartans became powerful symbols of resistance and cultural revival. Influential figures like Bonnie Prince Charlie embraced tartan as a unifying emblem of Scottish identity, helping cement its lasting importance in Scotland’s history and traditions.

Color Scheme and Pattern

The Arbutus Tartan features a refined balance of black and gray, creating a timeless plaid pattern that reflects strength and resilience. Black represents the steadfast Scottish spirit, while gray conveys balance and calm. The classic design offers both elegance and versatility, making it suitable for heritage events, formal occasions, or everyday wear. Crafted from 100% acrylic wool, this tartan delivers long-lasting durability and comfortable wear.
