Historical Significance
The Welsh National Tartan represents the rich cultural heritage and identity of Wales. This tartan was adopted by a Welsh society in Cardiff in 1967, emphasizing the deep connections between Wales and other Celtic countries. Its origins can be traced back to the 3rd or 4th century AD, and it was officially recognized in 2000. The colors of the tartan are derived from the Welsh flag, featuring the iconic red dragon set against a green and white background, paying homage to the 18th-century Lord of the Isles tartan, acknowledging the Prince of Wales' subsidiary title. Furthermore, it celebrates St. David, a prominent 6th-century Christian figure, who founded a monastic community that strengthened ties between Wales and other Celtic regions.
