Historical Significance

The Hannay Dress Tartan is a formal adaptation of the traditional Hannay tartan, rooted in the heritage of the Hannay family from the southwestern Lowlands of Scotland. The Hannay clan, known for their resilience and loyalty, boasts the motto "Per ardua ad alta," which translates to "Through difficulties to the heights." This motto reflects the clan's enduring spirit. Additionally, their clan crest, featuring a hand grasping a sword, symbolizes strength and protection. Typically donned during formal events, this tartan serves as a testament to the Hannay family's deep ties to their Scottish heritage and history.
