In 1907, Mrs. Lillian Crewe Walsh of Glace Bay, Cape Breton, wrote a poem in praise of Cape Breton. The poem was given by Mrs. Walsh to Mrs. Grant in 1957. Mrs. Grant designed the tartan in accord with the poem. Grey for our Cape Breton Steel, Green for our lofty mountains, our valleys and our fields; Gold for the Golden Sunsets, Shining bright on the lakes of Bras d’Or, To show us God’s hand has lingered, To bless Cape Breton’s shores.
