Historical Significance
The Bartlam surname, although not traditionally linked with well-known Scottish clans, is believed to have Anglo-Saxon origins, tracing back to early settlers in England and their subsequent migration to Scotland. Over the years, the Bartlam family became woven into the rich tapestry of Scottish heritage. Their tartan symbolizes this adoption, representing a deep connection to the Scottish lands they inhabited and their active participation in the broader Scottish community. While the Bartlam family lacks an official clan motto or crest, their tartan serves to foster a sense of belonging and pride within the larger Scottish society.
Color Scheme & Pattern
This Tartan features a striking combination of muted earth tones, primarily a deep brown, accented by vibrant shades of blue, yellow, and red. The base brown signifies the rich soils and rugged landscapes of Scotland, while the blue reflects the serene lochs and expansive skies, symbolizing peace and tranquility. The thin yellow lines represent optimism, and the subtle red lines denote strength and determination. The ancient variant of this tartan showcases slightly subdued colors, reminiscent of the natural dyes used in earlier times.
