Cape Breton Tartan

Picture
The Cape Breton Tartan colour scheme was derived from a 1907 poem by Lillian Crewe Walsh.

Grey   for our Cape Breton Steel
Black  for the Cape Breton Coal
Gold   for the sunsets shining bright on the lakes of Bras d'Or
Green for our lofty mountains, our valleys and our fields

Nova Scotia Tartan

Red    represents the Royal Lion on the Shield of Arms
Gold   represents the Province's historic Royal Charter
