Historical Significance

The County Derry Tartan is steeped in history and significance, tracing back to the establishment of County Derry in 1607 by James I. Following the Flight of the Earls, land was seized, and the Irish Society was granted control of the area, with the London prefix added to signify the involvement of London Livery Companies. The formal sanction was signed on March 29, 1613, marking the region's evolution into a symbol of pride for its inhabitants. This tartan, while linked to County Derry, showcases a unique pattern that embodies the rich tradition and culture of the area. Notably, it stands as one of the many Irish District plaids that, although not officially recognized yet, are celebrated for their cultural importance.

Color Scheme & Pattern

The County Derry Tartan features a captivating color scheme of blue, gold-yellow, and red stripes, complemented by bold black stripes running across the middle. Each color holds its own significance, with blue symbolizing loyalty, gold-yellow representing wealth and prosperity, and red conveying bravery and strength.
