Kelly of Sleat Red Ancient Tartan

Historical Significance

The Kelly of Sleat Red Ancient Tartan is firmly rooted in Scottish Highland heritage, where tartan patterns were traditionally used to express clan affiliation, loyalty, and social standing. Historically woven from wool for warmth and protection against Scotland’s rugged climate, tartans played both a practical and cultural role. The Kelly clan, known for their resilience and strong connection to the land, has been associated with this bold tartan for generations. Its importance grew during the Jacobite uprisings, when tartan became a symbol of cultural pride and allegiance. Influential figures such as Sir Thomas Kelly helped preserve its legacy, securing its place in Scotland’s historical tapestry.
