Balfour Blue Tartan

Historical Significance

The Balfour name dates back to the early 12th century in Scotland, associated with the Fife region. Historically, the Balfour family rose to prominence through military and political achievements, with Sir Michael Balfour of Denmilne becoming a noted figure in the 17th century. The clan motto, “For Right,” symbolizes their unwavering commitment to justice, while their crest, a right hand holding a sword, reflects the family's martial heritage and resilience. Over centuries, the Balfour clan has remained a respected name in Scottish history, known for its contributions to Scotland’s governance and defense.

Color Scheme & Pattern

The colors in this tartan include navy blue, bold red, yellow, and brown. The rich navy blue base represents loyalty and strength, while the bold red lines symbolize courage and valor. The yellow accents add a sense of energy and brightness, and the subtle brown tones reflect the earthy landscapes of Scotland. These colors are woven in a balanced, symmetrical pattern, with the navy blue predominating and the other colors offering striking contrast. The precise arrangement of these hues creates a visually appealing and historically significant tartan.
