Historically, the tartan was worn by shepherds, symbolizing their connection to the land and livelihood. Its unique checks not only represented the rugged landscape but also served a practical purpose'providing camouflage against the moors. Notable figures associated with this tartan include clan leaders who relied on its durability during the harsh Scottish winters. Over the centuries, the tartan has evolved, yet it remains a testament to Scotland's rich cultural tapestry.
