Historical Significance

The Baillieville Ancient Tartan is rooted in the history of the Baillie clan, a significant family in Scotland since the 12th century. They played a vital role during the Wars of Scottish Independence, standing proudly by their values of leadership and honor. The clan's motto, "Quid Clarius Astris", translates to "What is Brighter than the Stars", showcasing their enduring influence and commitment to steadfastness in challenging times. The star emblazoned on their crest symbolizes their legacy. The Ancient variant of this tartan recalls the era when natural dyes were in use, resulting in a timeless, authentic appearance that connects wearers to the clan's heritage.

Color Scheme and Pattern

The Baillieville Ancient Tartan boasts a subdued color palette of soft yellow, pale black, and earthy reds. Each hue carries significant symbolism: yellow represents the lands, black denotes loyalty, and red reflects the sacrifices made by the clan. The tartan features a classic sett pattern that interlaces these colors in a balanced manner, offering a historical charm that is both elegant and evocative.
