Historical Significance

The Ballindalloch Ancient Tartan is deeply rooted in Scottish history, particularly associated with Ballindalloch Castle, which dates back to the 16th century in Banffshire, Scotland. The Ballindalloch family has a storied past marked by their motto, "Touch not the cat bot a glove," a phrase that signifies strength and caution. Their crest prominently features a wildcat, symbolizing fierce independence and loyalty. Known as the "Pearl of the North," Ballindalloch Castle has stood as a testament to power and resilience, surviving events such as the Jacobite risings. This tartan represents the family's enduring legacy and their unwavering pride in their Scottish heritage.
