Historical Significance
The Belfrage Ancient Tartan is intricately linked to the storied Belfrage family, which has its origins in Sweden and Scotland. This family migrated to Scotland in the 17th century, bringing with them a rich Viking and Norse heritage that significantly influenced the Scottish Highlands. Renowned for their resilience and warrior spirit, the family motto, "Per ardua ad alta" (Through adversity to the heights), encapsulates their strength in overcoming challenges. The clan's crest, adorned with a sword and anchor, pays homage to their seafaring legacy and military contributions. Today, the tartan stands as a modern symbol of the Belfrage family's enduring legacy and strength.
