Callanish Tartan
“Behold the Callanish”, Scotland’s tribute to Love
The Callanish Tartan is The World’s most iconic Scottish Wedding Tartan, and is described as a stunning blend of heritage and romance in the beautiful colours of nature.
Romantics refer to The Callanish as ‘A Love Woven in Time’.
The colours of The Callanish Tartan are exquisite and elegant for The Bride, yet rugged and robust for The Groom.
In the beginning, The Callanish Tartan was commissioned by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on 16th March 2010 at Buckingham Palace, when Malcolm Campbell the mast weaver & designer was introduced to Her Majesty and beguiled her with stories of wool, of sheep, of Harris Tweed, of Tartan and of Scotland’s textile heritage.
