Historical Significance

The Glasgow City of Culture Ancient Tartan is steeped in rich Scottish heritage, originating from the vibrant city of Glasgow, which has been a significant cultural hub since the 18th century. Tartan patterns have long been intertwined with Scottish identity, traditionally worn by clans and families as a symbol of pride and unity.
