Royal Stewart tartan
Few symbols are as instantly recognizable as the Royal Stewart Tartan . The bright red, combined with deep blue, green, and delicate gold stripes, was first published in 1831 and has since become the world’s unofficial Tartan . Originally the personal Tartan of the British royal family, the Stewarts generously made the pattern available to the public: every subject of the Crown—and thus every admirer of Scotland—is free to wear it with pride.
The Scottish Register of Tartans therefore describes “ Royal Stewart ” as a “universal Tartan ” — one of the few patterns that does not require clan affiliation. Today, it can be found on Highland kilts, diplomatic gifts from the British royal family, and the uniforms of the Black Watch, as well as on Scotland’s finest cashmere stoles and woolen blankets.
The “ Royal Stewart ” collection at The Scottish Shop features cashmere scarves and stoles in the classic “ Royal Stewart ” color scheme, large cashmere scarves in the “ Royal Stewart ” check pattern, as well as lambswool blankets and scarves from “ Lochcarron of Scotland.” Each piece is Made in Scotland — a piece of royal Scottish heritage for your home or as an extraordinary gift.
