Historical Significance

The Empire Golf Check Tartan has rich roots in the Scottish Highlands, where tartan patterns have been woven into the fabric of Scottish identity for centuries. Traditionally, these patterns were associated with specific clans and regions, often serving as a symbol of unity and heritage. The Empire Golf Check Tartan is inspired by the golfing culture that flourished in Scotland during the 18th century, particularly at historic courses like St. Andrews. Notable figures such as Old Tom Morris, a pioneer of the game, contributed to the tartan's significance, as it embodies the spirit of camaraderie and competition found in Scottish golf.

Color Scheme & Pattern

Tartan features a sophisticated pattern of interwoven checks, predominantly utilizing shades of dark green and navy blue, complemented by light pink and red stripes that add a vibrant contrast. The dark green symbolizes the lush landscapes of Scotland, while the navy blue represents the depth and history of the Scottish heritage.
