Historical Context
The Shepherd Check Tartan is one of the classic Scottish tartans, named after the Shepherd family. Its origins can be traced back to the 17th century in the Highlands of Scotland, where tartan patterns were used to distinguish different clans. Each clan had its own distinctive design, and the Shepherd Check Tartan symbolizes the heritage of the Shepherd family. The original design was woven using wool from black and white sheep, eliminating the need for dye. This simplicity showcases the beauty of the tartan, using only white and black to create a stunning pattern. Over time, the Shepherd Check Tartan has become a symbol of Scottish tradition, frequently used in traditional attire such as kilts and sashes. Today, it remains a popular choice for those wishing to honor their Scottish roots.
