Inverness District Tartan

Historical Significance

The Inverness District Tartan holds a unique place in Scottish heritage, originating from the early 19th century. It is a district tartan, meaning it doesn’t associate with a specific clan chief. The tartan was reportedly created by His Royal Duke of Sussex in 1822, who was also the Earl of Inverness. This connection to nobility adds to its significance, as the tartan has been worn by notable figures, including King George VI and a young Queen Elizabeth II. Moreover, it was the first tartan to be illustrated in color within a published book, enhancing its historical importance.
