Nova Scotia Tartan
Historical Context
The Nova Scotia Tartan serves as a vibrant emblem of the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, whose name translates to "New Scotland." The tartan's origins can be traced back to 1953, when Mrs. Douglas Murray, President of the Halifax N.S. Weavers Guild, designed it as a backdrop for a farming exhibition. It holds the distinction of being the first officially recognized Canadian provincial tartan, receiving approval from the Lieutenant Governor in Council in September 1955. Notably, it was also the first tartan recorded by the Court of Lord Lyon, marking a significant moment in Canadian and Scottish heritage.
Color Scheme and Pattern
The Nova Scotia Tartan features a striking color palette. The predominant colors include:
- White and Blue: Symbolizing the vast ocean surrounding the province.
- Greens: Representing the lush forests that abound in the region.
- Red: Reflecting the Royal Lion featured on the provincial shield.
- Gold: Signifying the Province's Royal Charter.
