Historical Context
The Calgary Tartan has its roots deeply embedded in Scottish heritage, symbolizing clan loyalty and identity. Tartan patterns date back to the 16th century, with distinct designs representing different clans across Scotland. The Calgary Tartan, specifically, was designed to reflect both the vibrancy of Scottish culture and the community spirit of Calgary, a city with a significant Scottish influence. Notably, many Scottish immigrants brought their traditions, including tartan weaving, to North America, contributing to the rich tapestry of cultural exchange. The tartan is often associated with celebrations of Scottish heritage and has been worn during significant events such as Highland Games and clan gatherings.
