Pengelly The Cornish Tartan

Historical Context of the Pengelly The Cornish Tartan

The Pengelly The Cornish Tartan celebrates the proud heritage of the Pengelly family, a name deeply rooted in ancient Celtic tradition. Though not affiliated with a specific Scottish clan, this tartan honors the rich cultural legacy of Cornwall, a historic region in southwestern England known for its deep Celtic roots and vibrant history.

The Pengelly family crest, often depicting a shield, symbolizes protection and strength, while the family motto, “Semper Fidelis” (Always Faithful), reflects enduring loyalty, integrity, and honor. This tartan stands as a beautiful tribute to the Pengelly family’s heritage, celebrating their timeless connection to Cornish culture and the broader tapestry of Celtic identity.
