Leaping Salmon Tartan

Historical Significance

The Leaping Salmon Tartan represents a rich legacy tied to the Keir Family, an esteemed lineage in Scotland. Originating in the late 19th century, the House of Edgar began as an importer of draperies in Edinburgh, supplying fine fabrics to the thriving tailoring industry. Its reputation grew, and since 1999, it has been a leading Highland clothing producer in Perth. The design uniquely portrays the leaping salmon, a symbol of power, grace, and determination, reflecting the family's strong connection to fishing and trading, which were vital to their way of life. Wearing this tartan serves as a tribute for the Keir Family and their descendants, honoring their ancestors and celebrating their profound heritage.

Color Scheme & Pattern

The Leaping Salmon Tartan features a striking color palette of dark navy, deep maroon, black, purple and subtle yellow. The navy blue forms the base, offering a rich and deep background, while the deep maroon bands create a warm contrast that adds depth to the design. Thin black lines intersect the navy and maroon, enhancing the tartan's complexity. Delicate yellow stripes weave through the pattern, providing a bright accent that balances and invigorates the overall design. This bold yet refined color scheme makes the tartan a distinctive choice for those who appreciate a classic style.
