Abel Tartan
Historical Significance
The Abel Tartan is a relatively modern creation, designed by Brian Wilton in 1973, and is named after the Abel family, who have roots in the Scottish Borders. The family's lineage can be traced back to France in the 12th century when they settled in Scotland. Known for their involvement in significant political and social events in the region, the Abels played a notable role during the Scottish Wars of Independence, showcasing their bravery in battle. Additionally, the family was prominent in the textile industry, producing high-quality woolen goods. In the 19th century, they emigrated to New Zealand, continuing their tradition of wool production. The Abel Tartan symbolizes their identity, heritage, and distinctiveness, making it popular among those celebrating Scottish culture.
Color Scheme & Pattern
The Abel Tartan features a striking combination of green, blue, and black, accented by yellow, white, and subtle pink stripes. The green represents the lush landscapes of Scotland, while black symbolizes strength and resilience. The blue reflects the skies and waters of the country, and the yellow, white, and pink accents add brightness and a modern touch to the traditional pattern. Crafted from 100% acrylic wool, this tartan ensures durability and comfort, making it suitable for various occasions.
