Borthwick Tartan
Historical Significance
The Borthwick clan, rooted in the Lowlands of Scotland, boasts a storied history that traces back to the 14th century. Notably, Sir William Borthwick demonstrated remarkable valor during a mission to transport Robert the Bruce's heart to the Holy Land in 1330, where he heroically defended his group against Moorish attackers. The clan�s motto, "Qui Conducit" ("He who leads"), is complemented by their crest featuring a Moor's head. Borthwick Castle in Midlothian serves as the historic seat of the clan, with the Rt. Hon Lord Borthwick currently recognized as its chief. The surname "Borthwick" likely derives from lands near Borthwick Water in Roxburghshire, first associated with Thomas de Borthwick in the 14th century. The clan ascended to prominence as Lords of Parliament during the 15th century, and although the Borthwick tartan was officially recorded in 1987, its origins remain modern and elusive. Regardless, the clan's enduring contributions to Scottish history are evident.
Color Scheme & Pattern
The Borthwick Tartan showcases a modern design characterized by a refined color palette of black, white, grey, red, and green. The pattern features a series of thin, white lines that run horizontally across a backdrop of black and grey, accented by thick vertical stripes in red and green. This combination creates a muted yet distinctive appearance, symbolizing both the clan's historical significance and contemporary flair. Crafted from 100% acrylic wool, the tartan ensures durability and comfort, making it suitable for various occasions.
