Plummer Ancient Tartan

Historical Context

The Plummer Ancient Tartan is a classic representation of Scottish history, offering a timeless connection to the country's cultural roots. Though not tied to a specific clan, the tartan reflects the traditional values of loyalty, honor, and familial pride that are associated with Scotland's tartan legacy. The Plummer name, though not as widespread as some Highland clans, finds its roots in Scottish Lowland history. It is thought to be derived from the occupation of a plumber or worker with lead, a skilled trade in medieval Scotland. The tartan pattern itself is designed to honor these humble yet skilled ancestors who contributed to the thriving Scottish communities. Historically, ancient tartans are dyed using softer, muted tones to mimic the natural colors that were available before modern dyes, giving the tartan a more earthy appearance, symbolizing a deep connection to Scotland's land and traditions.

Color Scheme and Pattern

The Plummer Ancient Tartan features rich shades of red, green, black, and blue. The dominant red stands for courage and passion, while the deep green symbolizes the fertile landscapes of Scotland. The black lines provide contrast and structure, and the blue brings a sense of calm and loyalty to the design. These colors come together in a harmonious, checkered pattern that exudes both heritage and refinement. Made from 100% acrylic wool, this tartan is designed for durability and comfort.
