Historical Significance

The Belfrage Tartan is deeply rooted in the history of Clan Belfrage, a family whose origins trace back to both Scotland and Sweden. The clan's name is thought to be derived from the Norse word "b'lfr" meaning "wolf," symbolizing strength and resilience. The Belfrage clan is known for its motto, 'Nec temere, nec timide' which translates to 'Neither rashly nor timidly,' embodying a spirit of balanced courage. The clan's crest depicts a silver wolf, further highlighting their connection to this fierce and noble animal. The clan has a long-standing heritage that reflects their values of bravery and fortitude, qualities echoed in their tartan design.

Color Scheme & Pattern

The Belfrage tartan features a rich combination of dark blue, forest green, burgundy, white, and thin yellow stripes. The dominant blue and green hues represent loyalty, peace, and a connection to the Scottish landscape. Burgundy signifies the clan's strength and resilience, while the yellow lines symbolize optimism and prosperity. Black adds depth, and the fine white lines emphasize purity and clarity. The pattern is characterized by evenly spaced squares of green, blue, and burgundy, intersected by both yellow and white lines, creating a harmonious and traditional layout.
