Wilson Tartan

Historical Significance

The Wilson Tartan is deeply rooted in the rich heritage of the Wilson Clan, a notable Lowland clan of Scotland. This clan, lacking a chief, is recognized as an armigerous clan, with the Wilson surname tracing its origins back to the early 15th century. Prominently established in Dumfriesshire, Ayrshire, and the Glasgow and Stirling regions, the Wilson name is also found in Fife and Angus. The clan's influence grew significantly over the centuries, particularly in the textile industry and trade. Believed to descend from the Norman knight Symon Locard, who settled in Scotland in the 12th century, the Wilsons became an esteemed clan. The tartan itself was first documented in the Wilson's of Bannockburn collection and officially registered with the Scottish Tartans Society in 1963, symbolizing the clan's enduring cultural legacy.

Color Scheme & Pattern

The Wilson Tartan features a dynamic mix of red, black, white, and blue, each color reflecting the strength and legacy of the Wilson family. The vibrant red dominates the pattern, symbolizing courage, passion, and the enduring spirit of the Wilson clan. Black stripes weave through the tartan, adding contrast and depth. White accents provide a clean, crisp balance, symbolizing purity and honor. Finally, the subtle dark green stripes represent a connection to nature and growth. Crafted from 100% acrylic wool, this tartan offers both durability and comfort, making it suitable for a variety of occasions.
