Vancouver City Tartan

Historical Context

The Vancouver City Tartan beautifully weaves together the rich heritage of Scotland and the vibrant multicultural spirit of Vancouver. Rooted in the ancient art of tartan weaving, which dates back centuries in Scotland, distinctive patterns were once used to represent clans and communities, symbolizing unity and belonging. The Vancouver City Tartan blends modern design elements with traditional Scottish craftsmanship, honoring the past while embracing the city’s contemporary character. Created through the efforts of local Scottish societies, this tartan was designed to give Vancouver its own unique identity, celebrating the city’s diverse culture, inclusivity, and pride. Today, it stands as a meaningful emblem of connection between Scottish roots and Canadian heritage.

The Vancouver City Tartan features an elegant and balanced pattern defined by black and gray hues, creating a design that’s both modern and timeless.
