Haig Check Tartan

Historical Significance

Dive into the vibrant history of the Haig Check Tartan, a symbol of Scottish pride and tradition. Designed in 1908 by Sir Richard W. Griffiths, Colonel of the 4th Battalion King's Own Scottish Borderers, this tartan first adorned the pipers' plaids of the battalion, imbuing their uniforms with a sense of identity and belonging. Beyond its initial military use, the tartan was soon embraced by the family of Earl Haig, who shared a personal connection with the battalion as one of its Colonels. This adoption by the Earl’s family lent the pattern its distinguished name and solidified its status within Scottish cultural attire. The Haig Check Tartan not only reflects a storied past of regimental pride but also serves as a cherished heirloom, passed down through generations, embodying the spirit and resilience of Scottish heritage.

Color Scheme & Pattern

The aesthetic of the Haig Check Tartan is defined by a classic black and white checkered pattern with subtle light blue accents. The crisp white squares are evenly interspersed with bold black squares, creating a timeless and eye-catching contrast. The light blue lines run through the pattern, adding a fresh and modern twist to the traditional design. This tartan is versatile and can be crafted into various garments, bringing a touch of elegance and style to any piece. Made with 100% acrylic wool, it promises durability and comfort.
