Gillis Tartan (Limited)
Historical Significance
The Gillis Tartan is a vibrant testament to the heritage of the Gillis family, particularly Francis J and Florence M Gillis, deeply rooted in the rich narrative of Nova Scotia. Its origins reflect not only familial ties but also the natural beauty of the region. The tartan's design symbolizes the landscape, with blue representing the expansive ocean, purple paying homage to the resilient heather, and green nodding toward the lush forests. Black signifies the coal from Sydney Mines, pivotal to the area's industrial history. Moreover, the tartan's threadcount is a personal touch, representing the number of descendants, and it maintains historical ties to the MacArthur of Milton Hunting tartan, preserving connections to Clan Campbell. Officially documented on September 10, 2007, it stands as a modern homage to both family and regional heritage.
Color Scheme & Pattern
The Gillis Tartan stands out with its striking color palette, featuring a dominant black background symbolizing the coal of Sydney Mines. This dark base is highlighted with thick green stripes representing the lush forests of Nova Scotia, thick purple stripes honoring the resilient heather, and thin sky-blue stripes reminiscent of the surrounding ocean waters. The intricate sett pattern combines tradition and uniqueness, making it an appealing choice for tartan enthusiasts.
