About Auld Alliance (French) Tartan

The Design of our Auld Alliance - French - Tartan

This striking tartan design brings together the colours of the French Tricolour and the Scottish Saltire, symbolising the historic Franco-Scottish Auld Alliance. Woven locally, our Auld Alliance tartan is crafted using 100% British wool for premium quality and sustainability.

You can order this unique tartan by the metre or half metre, or commission a bespoke Auld Alliance product from our skilled team. Choose from a wide range of handcrafted items, including kilts, shawls, ties, cosmetic bags, and more - all made in our workshop in the South of Scotland.

The Story behind our Auld Alliance Tartan


The Auld Alliance tartan was originally commissioned in 2004 by Mme Olga Poivre d'Arvor, Director of the French Institute in Scotland. The design commemorates the Auld Alliance, a historic partnership formed in 1295 between Scotland and France. This unique agreement granted dual citizenship in both nations and endured for centuries, strengthening ties through political, military, and cultural unity.

More than just a treaty, the Auld Alliance sparked centuries of collaboration, influencing trade, the arts, education, and philosophy. The deep connection it forged between the Scottish and French peoples continues to thrive today, and this tartan proudly honours that shared heritage.
