Douglas Ancient Tartan

Historical Significance

The Douglas Ancient Tartan bears the rich heritage of the Douglas Clan, one of the most powerful families in Scotland. It was William de Duglas, the clan’s first notable member, who witnessed a royal charter in 1175 that established the clan’s prominence. During the Wars of Scottish Independence, the Douglases allied with Robert the Bruce, making a significant impact on Scottish history. Their most notable figure is Sir James Douglas, referred to as “Black Douglas” for his bravery. In 15th-century Scottish politics, Archibald Douglas, 5th Earl of Angus, known as the “Red Douglas,” also played an important role. A vibrant symbol of the clan’s enduring heritage, the Douglas Ancient Tartan is one of the oldest designs in existence.

Color Scheme & Pattern

Douglas Ancient Tartan is primarily green and blue in color, with white and black accents. Symbolizing strength and resilience, much like the clan’s storied history, the intricate pattern features squares interlocked with diagonal lines. 100% acrylic wool ensures durability and comfort, making it suitable for a variety of occasions.
