Historical Significance
The Banff White Tartan holds a distinguished place in the history of Scottish culture, representing the Banffshire region located in the northeast of Scotland. Historically, this region has been renowned for its fishing and agricultural roots, and its heritage has been proudly reflected in the tartan designs. While not directly associated with a specific clan, the Banff White Tartan embodies the spirit and pride of the local people. If you are looking for a crest and motto associated with Banffshire, many have adopted nearby clan symbols such as the Clan Macduff, whose motto is "Deus Juvat" (God assists) and their crest features a lion rampant.
Color Scheme & Pattern
This tartan features a primarily white background with intersecting patterns of white, grey, red, and yellow stripes. The white base symbolizes peace and clarity, while the grey tones represent the strong ties to the land, particularly agriculture and rural life. The red and yellow lines add a vibrant touch, hinting at both passion and the resilience of the Banff people. The grid-like pattern is a fine balance between bold and subtle, offering both sophistication and timeless appeal. The tartan is made from 100% acrylic wool for durability and comfort.
