Historical Significance
The Heddle Ancient Tartan represents the proud heritage of the Heddle family, traditionally associated with Orkney, the archipelago located off the northern coast of Scotland. The Heddles have long been tied to the sea, reflecting the maritime history of Orkney's people, who were skilled traders and seafarers. While not connected to a specific Scottish clan, the Heddle name has a strong cultural significance. This tartan reflects the family's deep roots and the legacy of resilience, unity, and strength that has passed through generations of the Heddle family.
Color Scheme & Pattern
This tartan features a delicate blend of soft green, black, white, purple, and subtle blue tones. The green symbolizes the fertile lands of Orkney, while the purple evokes the nobility and rich cultural history of the region. The lighter blue tones represent the surrounding seas that have defined much of the islanders' lives. The traditional checkered grid pattern is both classic and elegant, making it perfect for formal wear or honoring the Heddle heritage. Crafted from 100% acrylic wool, the tartan ensures durability and comfort.
