Historical Significance
The Baird Old Colours Tartan is a powerful symbol of Clan Baird's rich history, tracing back to the 12th century. The Baird name, derived from the Gaelic word "bard," meaning poet, is deeply embedded in Scottish culture. The clan's motto, "Dominus Fecit," or "The Lord Has Done It," reflects their strong faith and resilience, while their crest, featuring a gryphon's head, symbolizes strength, courage, and vigilance. Clan Baird is known for its unwavering loyalty to the Scottish crown, with members playing pivotal roles in key historical events like the Wars of Scottish Independence.
Color Scheme & Pattern
The Baird Old Colours Tartan is distinguished by its traditional color palette of dark blue, forest green, and black, interwoven with subtle lines of red. The blue represents loyalty and the skies above Scotland, the green symbolizes the lush landscapes of the Baird homelands, and the red marks the bloodshed in battles fought by the clan. Black stripes within the tartan signify the hardships endured throughout history. The tartan's classic plaid pattern, with broad color blocks intersected by thinner lines, offers a timeless design that embodies the enduring legacy of Clan Baird. The tartan is made from 100% acrylic wool, ensuring durability and comfort.
