“Nowhere beats the heart so kindly as beneath the tartan plaid!”
William Edmondstoune Aytoun
Inspired by my recent trip to the highlands, this week’s episode is Fashion &… Tartan!
As soon as you mention the word tartan, it conjures images of colourfully kilted clansmen, rolling heather hills and the deep wooded glens of the Scottish Highlands.
Tartan is not just a fabric it is the cloth of a nation, it is an identity, it symbolises strength, dignity and kinship regardless of whether you were born a scot or not.
The word tartan means not only the checked fabric but also a type of cloth. In terms of Highland dress, the cloth was easy to make, versatile and saw no class distinction meaning it was worn by the very rich and the very poor.
Tartan has transgressed the realms of tradition and has infiltrated the world of Politics, Royalty and Fashion through Jacobite Rebellions, Royal Visits and Romanticised Runways.
