Colquhoun – Ancient
The Colquhoun Ancient tartan is a visually striking pattern that embodies the rich heritage of the Colquhoun clan from the shores of Loch Lomond. This tartan primarily features deep forest green and navy blue, complemented by bold red stripes and subtle white lines. The ancient variant of this tartan uses slightly muted tones to reflect the natural dyes that would have been available historically, giving it an authentic and aged appearance.
Traditionally associated with the Colquhoun clan, this tartan not only serves as a symbol of clan identity but also tells a story of the clan’s long-standing presence in Scotland. The use of green represents the lush landscapes of their territorial lands, while the blue signifies the waters of Loch Lomond. The red stripes are often thought to symbolize the bloodline of the clan or their readiness to defend their lands.
This tartan is ideal for wear at traditional gatherings, Highland games, and other cultural events, providing a connection to Scottish history and the enduring legacy of the Colquhoun clan.
