Tartans are of a special pride to Cape Bretoners', it's rare not to see a piece of tartan in our homes which we display with pride and especially for those who are working away off the Island.
Cape Breton Tartan
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 shining sunsets shining bright on the lakes of Bras d'Or
- Green for our lofty mountains, our valleys and our fields
Nova Scotia Tartan
The Nova Scotia Tartan was the first Provincal Tartan in Canada
