Antigonish Tartan

Historical Significance

The Antigonish Tartan is deeply connected to Scottish heritage and diaspora history, named after the town of Antigonish in Nova Scotia, a community founded by Scottish settlers. This tartan reflects the migration of Scots across the Atlantic and their dedication to preserving Highland traditions, customs, and identity. It symbolizes ancestral pride and cultural connection, often worn during Highland games, cultural festivals, and heritage celebrations. Prominent Scottish families who shaped the Antigonish region embraced this tartan as a meaningful expression of legacy, unity, and Scottish roots abroad.

Color Scheme & Pattern

The Antigonish Tartan features a vibrant and balanced blend of deep navy blue, bright sky blue, and crisp white accents. The darker blues represent strength and tradition, while the lighter shades add freshness and harmony to the design. Clean white lines enhance contrast, creating a bold yet refined tartan pattern that reflects Scottish pride and craftsmanship. Made from 100% acrylic wool, this tartan delivers durability, comfort, and easy care, making it suitable for formal wear, casual use, and cultural events.
