The Barnes Tartan has its roots in a rich history associated with the Barnes family, a surname of Anglo-Saxon origin, particularly prevalent in Scotland and northern England. The Barnes family crest depicts an arm wielding a sword, symbolizing readiness and protection, while their motto, "Esse quam videri" (To be, rather than to seem), reflects their values of authenticity and integrity. Although not directly linked to any specific Scottish clan, the Barnes tartan represents the legacy and pride of those bearing the Barnes name, especially those with Scottish ties or seeking a connection to Scotland’s vast cultural heritage.
Color Scheme & Pattern
The Barnes tartan consists of a balanced mix of navy blue, dark green, and yellow pinstripes, creating a sophisticated yet traditional design. The dominant navy blue represents loyalty and depth, while the green signifies the land and its eternal connection to Scotland’s rugged landscape. The yellow pinstripes offer a subtle contrast, symbolizing energy and life within the pattern, bringing perfect harmony to this elegant tartan.
