Historical Significance

The Carolina States of Tartan represents a deep connection to Scottish heritage and the Scottish diaspora in the United States, particularly in North and South Carolina. Tartans originated in the Highlands of Scotland, where clans used them as a symbol of familial unity and regional identity. By the 18th century, tartans became intertwined with Scottish culture, serving as both functional and symbolic garments for Highlanders. Prominent historical figures like Bonnie Prince Charlie and the Highland regiments cemented tartan's legacy during key events such as the Jacobite uprisings. The Carolina States of Tartan honors this legacy, linking the Scottish descendants in the Carolinas to their ancestral roots while celebrating the contribution of Scots to American history.

The Carolina States of Tartan showcases a bold red base, intersected by green, black, and light blue stripes, highlighted by narrow white and yellow lines. The rich red symbolizes the blood ties of Scottish kinship, while the green and blue represent the natural landscapes of the Carolinas.
