The Hebridean Heather Tartan is a distinctive pattern believed to have originated from the Hebrides, a group of islands off the west coast of Scotland. The exact source of this design is not clearly documented, but it is thought to date back to the time when Celts were the dominant population in the region, with Vikings inhabiting the islands between 700 and 900 AD. By around 1098, the Norse influence grew stronger. This tartan likely reflects a blend of these cultures and may have been worn by the indigenous peoples of the Hebrides for centuries. Though not tied to a specific clan, tartans like Hebridean Heather often represent communities and regions, celebrating Scotland's rich cultural heritage.
