Alaskan Scottish Club Tartan

The Tartan seen here on our website is the official “Alaskan Scottish Club” Tartan. It was designed in 1991 by Alice Dillbeck for the Club. It was registered in 2013 with The Scottish Register of Tartans.

• Rose
  Rose reflects a winter sunset on Denali’s lofty top, a summer offer of shooting stars, and wild rose hips.

• Green
  Green suggests magnificent forests, short stalk sedge, lingonberry, and saxifrage.

• Gold
  Gold recalls the great North Star, the miners’ golden dream, tamarack, birch, and aspen mirrored in a stream.

• White
  The ice, the snow, the lights of the Auroras.

• Blue
  Blue is for the sky, forget-me-nots, the open sea, the deep cold azure of lakes, the glaciers’ mysterious hue, and for the Scottish origins of many Alaskans.
