Description History About Tartan: The saffron tartan holds historical significance as a symbol of Scottish rebellion. Worn by the Jacobites in the 18th century, it represented their resistance against British rule and support for the exiled Stuart monarchy. The saffron color, known as “strathbogie,” was often associated with the Jacobite cause. This tartan’s history is intertwined with Scotland’s struggle for independence and preservation of its cultural identity. Though not as widely recognized as clan tartans, the saffron tartan stands as a testament to the spirit of defiance that resonated during that era of Scottish history.
