Carlisle Tartan

Historical Context

The Carlisle Tartan carries a proud legacy rooted in Scotland’s cultural heritage, dating back to the early 18th century. Traditionally, tartan patterns were used for clan identification, with each design representing a specific family or region. Named after the historic city of Carlisle, this tartan reflects the enduring connection between the Scottish Borders and the Highlands. As a key location in British history, Carlisle symbolizes unity, strength, and resilience, especially during times of border conflict. Worn by soldiers and civilians alike, this tartan became a mark of allegiance, pride, and Scottish identity, continuing today as a symbol of tradition blended with modern Scottish pride.

Color Scheme and Pattern

The Carlisle Tartan features a bold yet balanced blend of blue and mustard yellow, enhanced by thin black and purple stripes. Blue represents loyalty and Scotland’s open skies, while mustard yellow reflects strength, warmth, and confidence. The black and purple lines add depth and contrast, completing the classic tartan look. Crafted from 100% acrylic wool, this tartan delivers durability, comfort, and easy care, making it suitable for a wide range of Scottish attire occasions.
