Tartan has long been a distinctive design
of Scottish Highland clans. Affection for tartan cloth crossed
the Atlantic first with Scottish regiments, who served garrison
duty in Canada before Confederation, and later with the Scottish
immigrants who settled in the Maritimes and United Canada. District
tartans reflect geographical areas and are the most relevant in
Canada today. They link land and community through symbolic and
imaginative use of colour. Caribou, Nova Scotia has chosen a tartan
that features the colour red, symbolic of its sunsets, lobsters
and fire trucks.
