The Elliot Tartan is a significant symbol of Scottish history, particularly the 14th century, when the Clan Eliott, hailing from Angus, relocated to Teviotdale in the Borders to protect the King's son, the Lord of Liddesdale. The tartan's origins are not precisely known, but it is believed that it was created by the Elliots to identify themselves as a clan. The name "Eliott" is said to have come from the village of Eliot in Angus District, with the extra "t" added by a branch of them who embraced Christianity as a symbol of the cross. The clan's motto, "Fortiter Et Recte," meaning "Boldly and rightly," highlights their honorable and just reputation, representing their unwavering determination to protect their people and lands. The clan's crest features a raised fist holding a sword, a symbol of their determination to protect their people and lands. Despite facing many challenges throughout wars, feuds, and political upheavals, they have remained steadfast, continuing to fight for their rights and beliefs.
Color Scheme & Pattern
The Elliot Tartan features a striking pattern with a combination of rich blue, deep forest brown, and bright fiery red, representing the clan's strength, courage, and heritage. The dominant blue symbolizes loyalty, while the deep brown reflects the hills and forests where the clan once lived, and the vibrant red signifies the blood spilled in battles fought for honor and land. The unique pattern consists of broad stripes in blue and brown, interspersed with thin, bold red lines. Made from 100% acrylic wool, this tartan ensures both durability and comfort, capturing the essence of the clan’s proud history.
