Historical Significance
The Johnstone Clans Originaux Tartan is deeply connected to the Johnstone clan, one of the most influential Border clans in Scottish history. The Johnstones rose to prominence in the 16th century, known for their strength and resilience in the often-hostile Scottish Borders. Their motto, "Nunquam Non Paratus" (Never Unprepared), speaks to their readiness for battle and perseverance in the face of adversity. The clan crest, featuring a winged spur, symbolizes their quickness in action and unwavering defense of their lands. This tartan honors the Johnstone clan's rich heritage and celebrates its contributions to Scottish history and culture.
Color Scheme & Pattern
The Johnstone Clans Originaux Tartan combines bold dark blue, green, black, and yellow. The blue and black symbolizes loyalty and justice, reflecting the strong character of the Johnstone clan. The green signifies the natural beauty of the Scottish landscapes, especially the fertile lands of the Borders region. Yellow is a symbol of energy and honor, capturing the vitality of the Johnstone family throughout the centuries. The pattern showcases these colors in a classic, symmetrical layout, with thick bands of blue and green intersected by thin yellow lines, creating a visually striking yet historically rooted design. This tartan is crafted from 100% acrylic wool for durability and comfort.
