Historical Context
The Paisley tartan, designed by Allan C. Drennan in 1952, has a rich history that began when it won first prize at the Kelso Highland Show as the Paisley district tartan. Drennan, who worked for Anchor Mills in Paisley, crafted this tartan to celebrate the heritage of the region. Over time, it has also evolved into a family tartan for those bearing the surname Paisley. This tartan serves not only as a symbol of Scottish culture but also embodies the spirit of community and pride associated with the Paisley area.
