Selkirk High School Tartan

Historical Context

The Selkirk High School Tartan reflects a rich heritage rooted in Scottish tradition, originating from the historic town of Selkirk in the Scottish Borders. Tartan patterns have played a vital role in Scottish identity since the 16th century, often representing specific clans, families, and regions. This particular tartan symbolizes resilience, unity, and community spirit, honoring the people of Selkirk and their enduring legacy. Notable figures, including Sir Walter Scott, who had strong connections to the Borders, have contributed to the cultural heritage of the area. Today, the Selkirk Tartan is more than just a pattern—it is a symbol of pride and connection to Scotland’s historical and cultural fabric.
