California Department of Forestry Tartan

Historical Context

Rooted in the Scottish Highlands, tartan has symbolized Scottish heritage and identity for centuries. Originally used to distinguish clans and family lineages, each pattern reflected regional pride and cultural unity. The California Department of Forestry Tartan carries this legacy forward by blending traditional Scottish tartan history with the distinct character of California. From Scottish clan leaders to American pioneers, tartan has long represented unity, service, and heritage, evolving from a practical fabric into a timeless cultural emblem celebrated at Highland games and heritage gatherings.
