Historical Significance
The concept of clans originated in Scotland and was later adopted by other parts of the British Isles, including Ireland. A clan is a social unit comprised of people who share a common ancestry, language, and cultural traditions. One of the most prominent clans in Ireland is the Fitzgerald clan, associated with Kildare County. The Fitzgeralds were powerful during the medieval period, instrumental in the Norman invasion of Ireland in the 12th century, and played a significant role in Irish politics and society in the following centuries. Established as an independent county in 1297, Kildare underwent boundary changes in 1832, and its history showcases resilience and adaptation over time.
Color Scheme & Pattern'
The Kildare County Tartan is woven from 100% acrylic wool for durability and comfort. It features a lively mix of colors, including turquoise, teal, red, and orange. The predominant turquoise and teal squares create a refreshing backdrop, symbolizing tranquility and a connection to nature. Bold red stripes add contrast and energy, while thin orange lines provide warm accents. The pattern also includes subtle yellow and green details, resulting in a playful yet elegant design that honors its heritage with a modern twist.
