Clan and Family Tartans

People want family tartans because they serve as a tangible symbol of their Scottish heritage, allowing them to connect with their ancestors and clan identity through a unique pattern that represents their family lineage. Historically, each Scottish clan had its own distinct tartan pattern, originally used to identify members of that clan on the battlefield and in society. Here at International Tartans, we hold the rights and licences to a select number of tartans, but are always happy to order any family tartans from our partners in industry and manufacture from our wide range of products. The colours and design are often based around family Crests or Coats of Arms as well as representative of the flora of the regions of Scotland (and in some cases Ireland) that those families hailed from.
