Historical Context
Step into the enchanting world of Scottish heritage with the Glasgow Tartan. Known as 'MADDER or GLASGOW ROCK and WHEEL,' this tartan weaves together threads of tradition, culture, and pride. The Glasgow Tartan is referenced in Wilsons of Bannockburn's 1819 Key Pattern Book and has roots tracing back to 1790 through correspondence. Its name, derived from 'Glaschu,' an ancient Celtic term meaning 'beloved green place,' pays homage to the missionary endeavors of St. Mungo. The city's emblem, adorned with his symbolism, reflects its inspiring motto, "Let Glasgow flourish." This tartan is not just fabric; it is a living chronicle of Glasgow's rich narrative.
