Cape Breton Tartan Fabric

Reiver 10oz Tartan Fabric, sold by the yard, 150cm wide

The Cape Breton tartan is predominantly green, white, black and yellow. Tartan has long been a distinctive design of Scottish Highland clans. Affection for tartan cloth crossed the Atlantic first with Scottish regiments, who served garrison duty in Canada before Confederation, and later with the Scottish immigrants who settled in the Maritimes and United Canada. District tartans reflect geographical areas and are the most relevant in Canada today. They link land and community through symbolic and imaginative use of color.
