Flower Of Scotland Tartan

Historical Significance

The Flower of Scotland tartan is an old-fashioned Scottish design steeped in cultural and historical significance. Its origins trace back to the tartans worn by various clans in Scotland, serving to distinguish groups and families. Created circa 1989 in honor of Roy Williamson, the writer of the lyrics and music to the song 'The Flower of Scotland,' this tartan was inspired by the Gunn tartan, which Williamson himself favored. The colors used—blue representing the bluebell and Zephyr green for the thistle—symbolize Scotland’s natural beauty and resilience. The Flower of Scotland tartan has become a widely recognized emblem of Scottish pride, cherished by both locals and those worldwide, symbolizing a strong connection to Scottish tradition and history.
