Inverclyde Tartan

It is Tartan Day today.



This is the tartan for Greenock - it is the Inverclyde Tartan.  Tartans come in all colours and mixes.  There are tartans for clan names, countries, organisations - all sorts of tartans!

If you would like to find out if there is a tartan for your name or area then go to the Scottish Register of Tartans where you can search a fabulous database to find out your tartan.  You will be amazed at the selection on offer.

  2. My great granny was a McCalman and they wear the Buchanan tartan. I am looking forward to one day visiting the west coast and the islands of Mull and Iona where my forebears used to live.
