Historical Significance
The Berwick Asymmetric Tartan holds a unique place in Scottish heritage, associated with the town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, a historical border town between England and Scotland. The tartan pattern represents the area's rich history, blending both English and Scottish influences. Berwick has been the focal point of many disputes and battles over centuries, especially between the Scottish and English crowns. The clan crest associated with Berwick reflects strength and resilience, accompanied by the motto, "Fortiter et recte" ("Boldly and rightly"). This motto speaks to the determination and fortitude of the people from the Berwick region.
