Historical Context
The Leslie Tartan is steeped in rich Scottish heritage, linked to the Leslie family, who have resided at Balquhain Castle since the 14th century. This castle, located in Aberdeenshire, was not only the clan's seat but also a focal point of significant events in Scottish history. Following its construction in 1340, the castle faced destruction during a feud with the Forbes family in 1526, but was promptly rebuilt. The Leslies remained there until 1710, with the castle enduring further turmoil during the Jacobite uprisings, being set ablaze by forces in 1746. Today, remnants of the castle still stand as a testament to the clan's enduring legacy.

The Leslie Tartan boasts a vibrant color palette of red, yellow, and black. Red symbolizes strength and courage, reflecting the clan's warrior spirit. Yellow signifies hope and prosperity, while black represents resilience and determination.
