Birrell Tartan
Historical Significance
The Birrell name boasts a rich history in Glandall, East Borders, tracing back to 1387. Notably associated with Andrew Birrell, a burgess of Berwick in 1449, the Birrell family played a significant role in regional governance and commerce. The distinctive Birrell tartan pattern was recorded in the 1819 Key Pattern Books of Wilson of Bannockburn, with earlier references dating to a 1773 letter by Wilson. This tartan symbolizes the enduring legacy of the Birrell family, whose influence has persisted for over six centuries in Scottish culture.
Color Scheme & Pattern
The Birrell Tartan features a vibrant combination of red, green, white, blue, and brown, with touches of purple. This pattern includes alternating thick and thin stripes of these colors, with thin white stripes separating each block. The use of red is particularly striking, as it is uncommon in traditional tartans. The earthy green and blue tones evoke a natural feel, while the brown adds warmth and grounding. Purple stripes introduce a regal element, providing a unique contrast to the design. Together, these colors reflect the tartan's rich history and significance.
