Mexicana Tartan

During the Colonial era, the Spanish restricted the entrance of other Europeans into Mexico. However, some non-Spanish Europeans were present. In 1556 the English Adventurer, Robert Thomson, encountered the Scotsman Tomas Blaque (Thomas Blake), who had been living in Mexico City for more than twenty years. Blaque is the first known Briton to have settled in what would become Mexico. Although Senor Blaque didn’t immediately start a one-man Caledonian Society, the Saint Andrew’s Society of Mexico was established in 1893, and thrives to this day. This tartan was designed in collaboration with members of the society in 2014. A design for the people of Mexico, of Mexican descent, or those associating with Mexico worldwide. The colours of the tartan are based on the Mexican national flag.
