Historical Significance

The Heddle Tartan is a celebration of the Heddle family name, deeply rooted in Scottish heritage. The Heddles are traditionally associated with Orkney, a group of islands off the northern coast of Scotland. Though not tied to a specific Scottish clan, the Heddle name carries a long history of resilience and connection to the sea, reflecting the Orkneys' legacy as a home for seafarers and traders. This tartan pays homage to that heritage, symbolizing the strength and unity of the Heddle family and their ties to Scotland's rich cultural history.

Color Scheme & Pattern

This tartan features a stunning combination of deep blues, purples, black, and subtle white and yellow accents. The blue represents the sea surrounding Orkney, while the purple evokes nobility and the rich cultural history of the Heddle family. The white and yellow stripes add contrast, symbolizing warmth and hope. The checkered grid pattern is traditional and balanced, providing a timeless design perfect for formal or casual wear. Made from 100% acrylic wool, the tartan ensures durability and comfort.
