Polish Tartan

The Design of our Polish Tartan

This blue, red and white tartan celebrates the links between the countries of Poland and Scotland over the centuries, combining the colours of the Polish and Scottish flags. All of our tartan is woven locally with 100% British wool, and can be ordered by the metre or half metre. We can also create a bespoke Polish tartan product for you. Choose from a wide range which includes kilts, shawls, ties, cosmetic bags and more. They will be handmade in our workshop in the South of Scotland.

The Story behind our Polish Tartan

The association between Poland and Scotland dates from as far back as the 15th Century, when Scots Merchants first settled in the free port of Gdansk. In the 16th Century, many Scots fought for Poland in the wars against Sweden, and by the 18th Century as many as 30,000 Scots were estimated to be living in Poland. Although few Poles visited Scotland in this period, that changed dramatically with the advent of the Second World War, when tens of thousands of Polish Troops were stationed throughout Scotland. The natural affinity between these two peoples saw many Poles settle in Scotland and assimilate into Scottish society. With Poland’s ascension into the European Union, that trend continues to this day and Scotland is a popular choice for Polish People seeking a new life. The Polish Tartan has been designed and woven as a gift to the people of Poland and to those of Polish descent who have chosen Scotland as their home. For Polish people worldwide and those who associate themselves with Poland. Approved by Consul-General Alexander Dietkow.
