Historical Significance

The Cates Dress Tartan is steeped in rich Scottish heritage, tracing its origins back to the 18th century when tartan patterns became emblematic of Scottish clans. Initially worn as a means of identification, tartans played a significant role in clan culture and community identity. The Cates family, associated with the tartan, exemplifies the historical significance of these patterns, which were often linked to notable figures and events, such as the Jacobite uprisings. The tartan remains a proud symbol of Scottish tradition, reflecting both the resilience and the artistry of the Scottish people.
