The Argyll (Campbell of Cawdor) Ancient tartan is a distinguished pattern that holds a deep connection with the Campbell of Cawdor family, a branch of the larger Clan Campbell, historically one of Scotland’s largest and most powerful clans. This tartan features a rich blend of azure, black, blue, green, and red. The ancient variant of this tartan presents these colours in muted, softer tones, which are intended to resemble the shades that would have been achieved using the natural dyes available in the past.

The use of azure and green predominantly reflects the natural landscape of the Scottish Highlands, which is home to the Clan Campbell. The red and blue are striking against the darker background, symbolising the family’s noble heritage and enduring strength. This tartan not only serves as a symbol of identity but also as a piece of wearable history, connecting the wearer with the ancestral lands and traditions of the Campbell of Cawdor lineage.
