The Eastern Maritime Province of Canada. In 1953 the local sheep-breeder’s association decided to stage an arts and crafts display at the forthcoming agricultural show. The President of the Halifax Weaver’s Guild was given the task to design a tartan. As many Nova Scotians had links to Scottish ancestry, she chose to avoid favoritism to any specific clan. Her design was based on the colors of the Nova Scotia flag and was adopted as the official tartan for the province. The choice of colors have significance: blue and white for the surf-ridden sea, greens for the forests, red for the royal lion on the Arms of Nova Scotia, and gold for the province's historic Royal Charter. Over the years other Canadian provinces designed their own tartan.
The colors are what I like most about it! It is so warm and soft! We visited when I was 16. I am now 78, and the memories are wonderful My mother purchased a large quantity of this material, handmade me a beautiful kilt, a matching vest. And scarf. ‘While there I also bought a matching clutch handbag! And when we entered the country there was a piper in full dress kilt, scarf and hat to match, playing the bagpipes. It is an unforgettable memory. I want to get back there sometime soon!
Please advice when they will be back in stock as I want some and also thanks shortbread
Both of these I purchased on my last visit to Scotland and love them so I was so happy to find this site to order/re-order these items when I need them. The coffee is actually for a gift. Again, happy to find a way to get these great teas and coffees until I return to Scotland in person!
Buttery and smooth, perfect for a cup of tea
Absolutely love this tea, it’s so full body and flavorful tea that I have tasted.
