“Behold the Callanish”, Scotland’s tribute to Love.
The Callanish Tartan is The World’s most iconic Scottish Wedding Tartan, and is described as a stunning blend of heritage and romance in the beautiful colours of nature.
Romantics refer to The Callanish as ‘A Love Woven in Time’.
The colours of The Callanish Tartan are exquisite and elegant for The Bride, yet rugged and robust for The Groom.
The oatmeal and pebble stone background colour of The Callanish Tartan symbolises The Callanish Stones themselves. The lichen border denotes the mosses and ferns around the place, whilst the sultry grey overchecks betoken the long eerie shadows cast through The Stones every month by the glowing light of the Full Moon, or the rising sun each bright morning.
The bracken mixture central overcheck represents the heather hills and peat bogs around The Callanish site, and the rufous red central overcheck is a tribute to Robert Burns poem ’My Love is like a red, red rose’, penned in 1794.
In the beginning, The Callanish Tartan was commissioned by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on 16th March 2010 at Buckingham Palace, when Malcolm the weaver was introduced to Her Majesty and beguiled her with stories of wool, of sheep, of Harris Tweed, of Tartan and of Scotland’s textile heritage.
