Historical Significance
The Barony of Gartly Tartan reflects the rich and storied history of the Barony of Gartly, a feudal estate in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, dating back to the medieval period. The Gartly family played a significant role in Scottish history, particularly during the Wars of Scottish Independence. The clan motto, "Corde Recto Faciendo" (Doing Right with a True Heart), represents their values of honor and loyalty. Their crest features a dexter hand grasping a sword, symbolizing readiness to defend their land and people. The tartan pattern associated with this barony is a modern creation, celebrating both the heritage of the region and the values of those who called it home.
Color Scheme & Pattern
This Tartan is predominantly green and blue with black and purple stripes, creating a balanced and harmonious pattern. The green symbolizes the lush landscapes of Aberdeenshire, while the blue represents the rivers and lochs that have long been central to the lives of its people. The black adds a strong, grounding element, signifying endurance, and the purple offers a regal touch, symbolizing nobility. The precise arrangement of colors ensures that each stripe and check appears clearly, reflecting both the historical significance and the aesthetic appeal.
