A Tartan Tale of Yore
Colourful Scottish Tartans are favourite designs in
many countries. The tartan developed chiefly in the
Highlands of Scotland. Scottish literature first referred
to it way back in the thirteenth century and since then,
the ‘Tartan’ has established itself as a beautiful and
prestigious design.
The ‘Tartan’ design consists of stripes of various widths
and colours. The stripes cross at right angles against a
solid colour background, resulting in a pattern that is as
distinguished as its historical significance, when each clan
and family designed its own pattern.
Just like the ‘Tartan’ of long ago, our School magazine
‘Tartan’ encompasses glimpses of the manifold curricular
and co-curricular activities of
our School and the creative talents of
our children who come from different cultural
backgrounds that blend harmoniously to create the
Bombay Scottish School Tartan.
