Historical Significance

The Antigonish Tartan has its roots firmly planted in the rich tapestry of Scottish heritage. Named after the town of Antigonish in Nova Scotia, Canada, which was founded by Scottish settlers, this tartan reflects the migration of Scots across the Atlantic and their enduring cultural traditions. The tartan symbolizes pride and connection to Scottish ancestry, often worn during significant events such as Highland games and cultural celebrations. Notable figures associated with the Antigonish region include many prominent Scottish families who contributed to the development of the community and its customs.
