Woven into the fabric of Scottish heritage, the Rose Hunting Modern tartan is not just a pattern but a symbol of the deep-rooted traditions of the Clan Rose. Established in Nairnshire since the 12th century, Clan Rose is renowned for its peaceful demeanor and diplomatic relations, often choosing the path of friendship over feuds. This characteristic tranquility is mirrored in the subtle and composed design of their tartan.
Unlike many Scottish clans embroiled in turbulent feuds, Clan Rose nurtured amicable ties with neighboring clans and upheld an unwavering loyalty to the Crown. During the Jacobite Risings, their allegiance to the Hanoverian government showcased their commitment to peace and stability within the realm. The Rose Hunting tartan, first documented in 1831, carries this legacy forward, not just through its threads but through its historical significance. In a touching tribute to royal connections and friendships, the late Baroness and Clan Chief Elizabeth Rose bestowed the Rose Hunting tartan upon The Royal Tank Regiment Pipes and Drums in 1972. This gesture not only solidified the tartan's esteemed place in history but also highlighted its role in ceremonial and cultural celebrations.
Featuring a serene green backdrop intersected by bold black and blue stripes with delicate red and white lines, the Rose Hunting tartan offers a visual representation of the clan's harmonious and loyal nature. Made from 100% acrylic wool, the fabric promises durability and a luxurious feel, making it suitable for various applications—from traditional kilts to modern-day upholstery and accessories.
This tartan, with its versatile and rich color palette, serves as a perfect canvas for expressing both traditional Scottish attire and contemporary fashion statements.
