Wilson Tartan

The Wilson Tartan is a Scottish tartan that is associated with the Wilson Clan. The clan, which is one of the Lowland clans, does not have a chief and is considered an armigerous clan. The Wilson surname has a long and fascinating history in Scotland. While it was first recorded in the early 15th century, it became especially prominent as a surname in Dumfriesshire, Ayrshire, and the Glasgow and Stirling regions. But the Wilson name is not limited to those areas, as it can also be found in the Fife and Angus regions of Scotland. Over time, the Wilsons became a respected and influential clan, and many members of the family were involved in the textile industry, trade, and other important aspects of Scottish life. Today, the Wilson Tartan serves as a tribute to the clan's proud history and enduring cultural legacy. The Wilsons are believed to have descended from the Norman knight, Symon Locard, who settled in Scotland during the 12th century.
Over time, the Wilsons became a prominent clan in the Lowlands, and many members of the clan were involved in trade, particularly in the textile industry. The Wilson Tartan features a striking pattern of dark green, navy blue, black, and white, with thin red and yellow stripes running through it. It is a popular tartan for both formal and casual wear and is often used in kilts, jackets, and other accessories. The tartan was first recorded in the Wilson's of Bannockburn collection and was registered with the Scottish Tartans Society in 1963. Today, the Wilson Clan continues to have a strong presence in Scotland and around the world. The clan has a number of associations and societies, which work to preserve the history and heritage of the Wilsons. The Wilson Tartan is a symbol of the clan's rich history and cultural legacy and is a testament to the enduring traditions of the Scottish people.
