Historical Significance

The Barnes Ancient Tartan holds a significant connection to the Barnes family, a Scottish surname that traces its origins to the Lowlands. The family name 'Barnes' is derived from the Old English word for 'barn,' representing a place of storage or shelter, hinting at the family's early role in agriculture and landholding. Though not directly associated with a specific clan, the Barnes family played important roles in their local communities throughout history. The family motto, "Virtute et Opera" meaning "By Virtue and Deeds," reflects their strong values. Their crest typically features a hand holding a cross, symbolizing faith and moral strength.

Color Scheme & Pattern

This Tartan features a harmonious blend of colors: light blue, green, black, and yellow, with subtle red lines. The predominant light blue represents loyalty and peace, while green signifies the natural landscapes of Scotland. The yellow accents, intertwined with the deeper hues of black, add a dynamic contrast, symbolizing the sun and light. The tartan's pattern, arranged in symmetrical blocks of color, reflects the structured yet fluid nature of Scottish tartans, carefully balanced to create a timeless design. Made from 100% acrylic wool, it offers both durability and comfort.
