The Richardson Heritage

Historically associated with the rugged country of Roxburghshire and Berwickshire, families bearing this name were part of the complex tapestry of Border life. The Richardson tartan displays their pattern in bold, dignified colors—brilliant scarlet balanced by evergreen and black—that signal strength and distinction.
