Product Description

Historical Significance

The Bruce of Kinnaird tartan boasts a rich heritage linked to Sir Robert de Brus, who journeyed with William the Conqueror to England. His son, Robert de Brus, became a Companion-at-Arms to Prince David, who eventually ascended as King of Scots. In 1124, King David rewarded Robert with lands in Annandale, which became the Bruce family's ancestral estate. Their crest features a lion statant with an extended tail, and their Latin motto, "Fuimus," translates to "We have been." The family's narrative intertwines with that of Robert the Bruce, the legendary figure who triumphed over the English at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314. This tartan variant is associated with the Bruce family and was officially recognized for ordinary wear in 1953 by Lord Bruce of Kinnaird, representing a branch of the clan. The tartan has historical significance, being woven by Anderson of Galashiels and preserved in collections like the STA Dalgety Collection.

Color Scheme & Pattern

The tartan features a vibrant and balanced palette with red, green, black, white, and yellow hues, each carrying significant symbolism. Red squares symbolize strength and valor, essential traits of the clan. Green squares represent the lush Scottish landscapes and the clan's deep-rooted connection to their homeland. Black stripes add depth and formality to the design. White lines provide striking contrast, symbolizing peace and purity. Yellow accents inject a touch of brightness and optimism. Together, these colors create a harmonious and meaningful design that reflects the spirit and heritage of the clan.
