Johnston Ian Tartan

Historical Significance

The Johnston Ian Tartan carries the proud heritage of Clan Johnston (or Johnstone), a prominent Scottish Border clan renowned for their fierce loyalty and protection of their lands. Originating in Dumfriesshire, Clan Johnston played a vital role in defending Scotland's southern border during centuries of conflict with England. Their motto, "Nunquam Non Paratus" (Never Unprepared), emphasizes the clan's readiness for battle and strong sense of responsibility. The Johnston crest, adorned with a winged spur, symbolizes swift action and defense, reflecting the clan's history as skilled warriors and protectors of their territory.

The Johnston Ian Tartan features a sophisticated palette of various shades of gray, white, and subtle pink.
