Peebles Royal Burgh Tartan

Historical Context

The Peebles Royal Burgh Tartan beautifully celebrates the proud history of the Royal Burgh of Peebles, a charming town in the Scottish Borders known for its rich heritage and cultural depth. Granted the title of Royal Burgh in the 12th century, Peebles played a key role as a hub of trade, governance, and community life. While not directly tied to any specific clan, this tartan serves as a symbol of unity and pride for the town and its people. The town’s inspiring motto, “Contra Nando Incrementum”—meaning “Increasing Against the Stream”—perfectly captures the resilience, determination, and enduring spirit of Peebles. This tartan stands as a fitting tribute to that unwavering strength and historical legacy.

Color Scheme and Pattern

The Peebles Royal Burgh Tartan features a refined and timeless blend of colors that reflect both the landscape and character of the region:

• Black – Symbolizing strength, stability, and enduring heritage.
