Zambia Tartan

One of the 'Tartans for Africa’ collection created to strengthen the bonds of friendship between Scotland and Zambia and to generate income for community enterprise and humanitarian projects. The design incorporates the colours in the flags of the two nations. This tartan was designed in 2006. As with many of our Tartans for Africa collection, it involved multicultural and refugee organisations in Edinburgh and Glasgow. It was subsequently approved by the High Commissioner to the UK and registered in 2007. It was most recently used by Former First Minister, Humza Yousaf in 2024, when confirming £1 million international development investment to support a life-saving medical research laboratory. First Minister gifted a Zambian Tartan Tie to the President of the Republic of Zambia, Hakainde Hichilema. Scotland has a longstanding partnership with Zambia, with a joint commitment to collaborate in key areas, now including health through tackling the challenges of non-communicable diseases.
