Cape Breton
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.
Nova Scotia
The Atlantic province of Nova Scotia, New Scotland, was first mentioned in 1621 on a land charter. This is the oldest Provincial tartan in Canada and was designed in 1953 almost by accident. Mrs. Bessie Murray was President of the Halifax Weavers’ Guild and designed a trade display on sheep rearing. In it, a shepherd wore a tartan and to avoid showing favouritism she designed a completely new one that proved to be so popular that in 1963 it was adopted as the official provincial tartan. The colours represent the blue of the sea and sky; the dark and light greens of the evergreens and deciduous trees; the white of the rocks and coastline surf; the red from the lion rampant on the Province’s crest and the gold of Nova Scotia’s Royal Charter of 1621 and the subsequent Grant of Arms in 1625.
Thompson Camel
Once thought to be a sept of Clan Mactavish, Clan Thompson is a clan in its own right. The first known appearance of Clan Thom(p)son was the Thompsons of Eskdale who were known to be fierce border reivers. They were infamous for their raids on the border regions between England and Scotland. Although not linked by blood, the clans do share a tartan – Thompson Red Modern.
