Ayrshire Tartan

Co-designed and launched by Provost Elizabeth Foulkes in 1998 and for use by anyone from, or associated with the County of Ayrshire, with International Tartans consent. The tartan was designed around some of the history and heritage of the region; the green representing the predominantly rural landscape of the east and south, the gold of the rich farmland which makes the name of Ayrshire synonymous with agriculture, the blue represents the Irish Sea which forms its western boundary, the black depicting the rich coal seams which fueled its many industries over centuries, the pale blue represents the two districts of Kyle and Cunningham, and purple the third district of Carrick, birthplace of King Robert the Bruce, which together make up the County of Ayrshire.

Ayrshire is a registered Tartan
