Historical Significance
The Bean of Freeport Hunting Tartan pays homage to the Bean clan, a small yet proud Scottish family that has made its mark in both the Highlands and Lowlands. The Beans trace their lineage to the MacBeans, a sept of the Clan Chattan Confederation. Known for their loyalty and strength, the MacBeans were integral warriors in many of Scotland's historic battles. The clan's motto, "Touch Not a Catt Bot a Targe," translates to "Touch not a cat but a glove," signifying readiness for defense. Their crest displays a wildcat, emphasizing courage and ferocity.
Color Scheme & Pattern
The tartan itself features a combination of deep greens, rich reds, and subtle navy accents, all interwoven with prominent blue lines. The green symbolizes the hunting grounds and forests, a nod to the clan's connection to the land and nature. The red represents the bravery and bloodshed of the battles fought by their ancestors, while the navy and black add subtle yet powerful contrasts, hinting at loyalty, resilience, and strength. The symmetrical pattern of checks and lines is traditional, with alternating broad and narrow bands creating a harmonious design, crafted from 100% acrylic wool for durability and comfort.
