Historical Context
The Auchincloss Ancient Tartan traces its roots back to the Scottish Highlands, where tartans were traditionally worn to signify clan allegiance and social status. Originating from the 16th century, tartans became a vital part of Scottish heritage, symbolizing unity and pride among clans. Notable figures such as Sir Walter Scott popularized tartan patterns in the 19th century, leading to their widespread adoption beyond Scotland. The Auchincloss family, associated with this tartan, played a significant role in the history of Scottish land ownership and culture, further embedding the tartan into the fabric of Scottish identity.
