Historical Significance

The Dark Island Black Tartan has its roots deeply embedded in Scottish heritage, tracing back to the Highlands where tartans were originally used to signify clan identity and regional affiliation. The use of tartan dates back to the 16th century, being woven by local artisans from wool sourced from the surrounding landscape. The significance of tartans grew, especially during the Jacobite uprisings, where they became symbols of pride and resistance. Notable figures, such as Bonnie Prince Charlie, were often associated with specific tartans, further solidifying their place in Scottish history.
