Bartlett Ancient Tartan

Historical Significance

The Bartlett clan, though not as prominent as some of the Highland clans, has a rich and fascinating history rooted in both Scotland and England. The Bartlett family’s influence emerged during the Middle Ages, mainly through trade and craftsmanship, contributing significantly to local economies. They were known for their resilience and commitment to their values, captured by their motto, "Malo mori quam foedari," which translates to "I would rather die than be dishonored." Their crest, featuring a vigilant griffin, symbolizes strength and protection. While their origins are more aligned with the lowland regions, the Bartlett clan has maintained its heritage through the centuries, and the Bartlett Ancient Tartan embodies this enduring legacy of courage, honor, and connection to the land.

Color Scheme & Pattern

The Bartlett Ancient Tartan is a beautiful blend of colors that carry deep significance. The dominant green symbolizes the lush landscapes of Scotland, reflecting the family’s connection to the earth. Blue represents loyalty and faithfulness, a key trait of the Bartletts, while red symbolizes the courage and sacrifices they made throughout history. Yellow accents add a touch of brightness, symbolizing wisdom and enlightenment with black. The tartan’s pattern features wide green bands intersected by thinner blue and red lines, creating a striking and balanced visual that reflects the family’s proud history. Crafted from 100% acrylic wool, this tartan ensures durability and comfort.
