Historical Significance

The Bell Ancient Tartan hails from the Bell clan, a name historically found across Scotland and Ireland. The Bell family, known for their loyalty and resilience, has deep roots in Dumfriesshire, where they first gained prominence. The clan's motto, "Signum Pacis Amor" (Love is the token of peace), reflects the values they upheld over the centuries. The clan crest features a silver bell, symbolic of their watchfulness and connection to their namesake. With a rich heritage linked to the Scottish borders, the Bell clan played a role in defending their land and upholding traditions.

Color Scheme & Pattern

The Bell Ancient Tartan is a striking blend of blue, red, black, and white. The predominant light blue symbolizes the sky and represents peace and tranquility. Red stripes within the pattern bring energy, symbolizing strength and courage, traits associated with the Bell clan. Black lines offer a sense of depth and balance, while white accents stand for clarity and purity. The tartan's pattern is a traditional grid, composed of thick lines intersected by finer lines, making it both bold and refined, suitable for various ceremonial and casual uses. Made from 100% acrylic wool, it ensures durability and comfort.
