County Cork Tartan

Historical Significance

The County Cork tartan weaves a compelling narrative that transports us back through the annals of Scottish history. Designed by the talented Polly Wittering in 1997, this tartan may not hold an official District status, but it holds an irreplaceable place in the hearts of the Macnaughtons of Pitlochry and tartan enthusiasts alike. The genesis of this tartan finds its inspiration in the County Cork, a region renowned for its spirited past and a moniker that has become synonymous with rebellion – "the rebel county." As the tumultuous waves of history crashed upon its shores, the County Cork became a crucible for resilience, symbolized in the County Cork tartan's design. Polly Wittering's creation is a testament to the enduring spirit of Scotland, serving as a beacon of hope that pays homage to the motto "Static bene fida carinis," meaning "a harbor safe for ships."
