Historical Significance

The County Down Tartan is a symbol of the rich heritage and history of Northern Ireland. This tartan has a historical background dating back to ancient times, and thus it depicts the spirit of its people that has withstood the test of time. The history of the region, including Neolithic settlements and the Battle of Ballynahinch, is characterised by the strength and bravery. The tartan is in honor of the powerful Clan Magennis that was closely tied to the region. The scenic Mourne Mountains, glorified in The Mountains of Mourne and the colourful towns of Downpatrick, Bangor, Newry, and some of Belfast contributes to its beauty. The natural beauty and historical nature of County Down is reflected in iconic landmarks, such as Down Cathedral, Castlewellan Forest Park, and Strangford Lough. This tartan is the spirit of a land with its history and glory.

Color Scheme & Pattern

The combination of the harmonious play between brown, orange, gray and tints of blue is beautiful in this Tartan. The deep brown is the symbol of earthly landscapes of County Down and the bright orange is the symbol of the burning spirit of the tradition. The gray shades are a hint of the foggy mornings of the area, which brings the design depth and mystery. Tints of blue are an ode to the calm waters which cut across the county. Combined, the colors compose a story of nature and historical value, which embodies the spirit of the area.
