Historical Context
Clans are an integral part of Scottish history and culture, symbolizing extended families sharing a common heritage. The Mowat clan, with roots in the Orkney Islands, boasts a rich history that dates back to the Middle Ages. Named after the village of Mowat, this clan has seen many of its members serve as soldiers, sailors, and even pirates. Throughout history, the Mowats faced conflicts, notably with the Sinclair clan in the 16th century, resulting in a protracted feud. In the 17th century, they took part in a rebellion against the Scottish government, which ultimately led to the loss of their ancestral lands. The Mowat (Mouat) Tartan remains a symbol of this clan’s legacy, celebrated for its distinctive design and deep-rooted significance.
Color Scheme and Pattern
The Mowat (Mouat) Tartan features a striking pattern characterized by navy blue, green, and black, complemented by fine lines of yellow and white. The colors symbolize the breathtaking natural beauty of the Orkney Islands: the green and blue reflect the sea and sky, while the black represents the rugged coastline. Crafted from 100% acrylic wool, this tartan offers both durability and comfort, making it ideal for various applications.
