The Wilson Heritage

With roots deep in the Scottish Lowlands and Borders, the Wilson name has been borne by fighters, merchants, and statesmen throughout Scottish history. The Ancient tartan displays their distinctive pattern in vegetable-dyed tones—softened crimson reds, heathered greens, and weathered blues that replicate the authentic appearance of tartans worn centuries ago in the southern counties of Scotland.

Ancient Colorway: Weathered Lowland Elegance

The Ancient palette transforms the bold Wilson colors into sophisticated, time-worn hues. Expect gentle rust reds, moss greens, and slate blues that evoke the rolling hills and ancient stone of the Lowlands. This weathered aesthetic offers timeless elegance perfect for those who value the steady vigilance of this historic family.
