East Kilbride District Tartan

Historical Significance

Immerse yourself in the captivating East Kilbride Tartan, a living embodiment of Scotland's rich tapestry. Named after the revered St Bride, an Irish saint, the town�s name reflects a spiritual legacy intertwined with the ancient parish church that once stood on sacred grounds near a well dedicated to the Celtic goddess Brigid. Nestled in the picturesque Calderglen valley, this region was the ancestral home of the illustrious Maxwells of Calderwood, whose influence echoes through the halls of Calderwood Castle. The oystercatcher bird, cherished by both St. Brigit and her pre-Christian counterpart, symbolizes the harmonious blend of faith and folklore defining this land. Designated as Scotland's first new town in 1947, East Kilbride stands as a testament to the resilience and vision of its people amidst a breathtaking landscape.

Color Scheme & Pattern

This tartan features a vibrant red base, accented by thin white lines and intersected by darker tones of gray and black. The red signifies passion, strength, and energy, while the gray and black add an element of stability and resilience. The structured, grid-like pattern of the tartan reflects balance and order, with the white stripes adding a touch of lightness and clarity. Together, the combination of colors and the traditional crisscross pattern embodies both boldness and tradition.
