Historical Significance
The Berwick Orange Tartan is deeply rooted in the history of the Scottish Borders, particularly associated with the town of Berwick-upon-Tweed. This region, located near the Scottish-English border, has a long history of both Scottish and English influence, reflecting its complex political and cultural past. Berwick has changed hands between Scotland and England multiple times, which is evident in the diversity of the town's heritage. The Berwick crest features a bear chained to a tree stump, with the motto "Nulli Secundus" (Second to None), representing the strength and resilience of the people in this region, constantly adapting through turbulent times.
Color Scheme & Pattern
This tartan features prominent shades of deep orange, brown, red, black, purple, and blue. The bold orange serves as a nod to the fiery spirit and determination of the people of Berwick, while the earthy brown tones symbolize the fertile land and natural beauty surrounding the town. The intricate pattern of alternating thick and thin lines of black and red creates a striking design and represents the unity and complexity of the region's heritage. Purple adds a regal touch, symbolizing dignity and wisdom, while blue contributes a subtle yet important element, representing loyalty and tradition. Made from 100% acrylic wool, this tartan ensures durability and comfort.
