Historical Context
The Perthshire Tartan boasts a rich history rooted in the scenic Perthshire region of Scotland. Originally crafted in the early 19th century by the skilled weaver Archibald Burt from Crieff, this tartan has evolved into a beloved symbol of local culture. In 1993, a collaboration between Brian Wilton of the Perthshire Tourist Board and designer Peter MacDonald breathed new life into the tartan, giving rise to the Perthshire District Tartan. This tartan has since become iconic, especially among those in the tourism sector, encapsulating the region's spirit. Initially designed for ceremonial purposes to represent Perthshire’s districts, it has grown to signify the heritage and pride of the local community.
