Historical Context
The Thomson Hunting Tartan, a hallmark of Scottish heritage, was introduced in 1958 for Lord Thomson of Fleet, a prominent media magnate. This tartan draws inspiration from a mid-19th century design found in the prestigious Moy Hall collection. Unlike many tartans associated with specific clans, the Thomson Hunting Tartan represents the independent spirit of the Thomson name, traditionally linked to lowland clans yet not confined to any single lineage. This unique combination of independence and tradition positions the Thomson tartan as a symbol of personal identity and collective Scottish heritage. Today, it is embraced in both traditional attire and contemporary fashion, making it a versatile choice for those wishing to connect with Scottish history.
Color Scheme and Pattern
The Thomson Hunting Tartan features a warm and earthy design, characterized by a rich brown base that embodies tradition and natural beauty. The pattern includes soft green stripes that provide a refreshing contrast, while delicate white lines enhance brightness and clarity throughout the design. Interwoven black stripes offer added structure and depth. Made from 100% acrylic wool, this tartan ensures durability and comfort, allowing for easy maintenance while retaining its timeless elegance.
