Munro Ancient Tartan

Historical Context

The Munro Tartan is deeply rooted in the history of Clan Munro, one of Scotland’s oldest clans, with origins traced back to the early 11th century. The clan’s founder, Donald Munro, is believed to have migrated from Ireland to Scotland, establishing the clan's presence around Easter Ross in the Scottish Highlands. The Munro clan has a long tradition of military service, notably supporting Robert the Bruce during the Wars of Scottish Independence. The clan motto, “Dread God,” reflects their strong convictions and moral principles. Today, the Munro Tartan is a symbol of the clan’s enduring legacy, proudly worn by descendants and clan members, connecting them to their rich heritage and Scotland’s storied past.

Tartan Description

This tartan features a vibrant and eye-catching pattern, dominated by a bold red base that represents the strength and passion of its heritage. The design is intricately woven with bright yellow lines, forming a grid that adds a striking contrast to the red. Rich green squares are symmetrically placed, symbolizing the lush landscapes of Scotland, while thin blue stripes intersect the pattern, bringing depth and balance. The tartan also includes subtle brown tones, grounding the design and providing a warm, earthy feel. Together, these colors create a harmonious blend that embodies the spirit and tradition of the clan. Made from 100% acrylic wool, the Munro Tartan ensures durability and comfort.
