The Anderson of Arbrake Tartan holds a significant place in the tapestry of Scottish heritage, designed by David A R Waterton-Anderson, the Chairman of the Anderson Association. This tartan was created in response to a specific request from Anderson Association members who desired a red background tartan as an alternative to the traditional light blue. The Anderson family of Arbrake, located in County Banff, is one of the principal families bearing the Anderson name, interwoven with influential clans in northeast Scotland. Historical records reveal intermarriage with the powerful Clan Gordon and other prominent families, many of whom have tartans characterized by strong red hues. Traditional Anderson tartans are distinguished by broad white and two yellow stripes on black, a feature incorporated in this design. Although Clan Anderson is armigerous, it does not have a recognized chief within the Lyon Court, with clan affairs overseen by a Clan Council. The tartan, created in 2006, pays homage to the family's storied past while resonating with the clan's identity as a vibrant emblem of enduring legacy.
Color Scheme & Pattern
The Anderson of Arbrake Tartan features a bold combination of red, green, black, yellow, light blue, and white. The dominant red and black symbolize strength and passion, while the green represents the connection to Scotland's natural landscapes. Yellow and light blue stripes bring a touch of brightness, and the white accents add a crisp, clean contrast, balancing the design. Crafted from 100% acrylic wool, this tartan ensures both durability and comfort. Its modern design incorporates traditional elements, making it a timeless piece that honors heritage while embracing contemporary style.
