Montgomery Blue Green Ancient Tartan

Historical Context

The Montgomery tartan boasts a rich history, tracing back to the early Scottish clans. The Montgomery name originates from a Norman family who once held the Castle of St. Foy de Montgomery in France. The family became prominent in Scotland with Robert Montgomery acquiring lands in Renfrewshire. Unlike traditional Highland clans, the Montgomerys were a powerful Lowland family with connections to several Highland clans. The tartan, first recorded by William Wilson & Son of Bannockburn, is one of the earliest Lowland tartans, associated with Eglinton, Ardrossan, and Kintyre. The current clan chief is The Rt. Hon. The Earl of Eglinton and Winton, with the motto "Garde bien" or "Watch well."

Color Scheme and Pattern

This tartan showcases a harmonious and serene design, with a lush green base that symbolizes the vibrant landscapes of Scotland. The pattern is subtly accented by soft blue stripes that intersect to create a gentle, understated grid, adding depth and dimension without overpowering the overall look. The combination of green and blue evokes a sense of calm and connection to nature. Made from 100% acrylic wool, this tartan provides outstanding durability and comfort, making it perfect for those who appreciate tradition in their attire.
