Since St. Anne’s School was founded in 2022, the Stewart Dress Tartan has been proudly featured in its kilt. This tartan is a formal variation of the Royal Stewart Tartan, famously associated with the Royal House of Stewart, one of Scotland’s most prominent royal dynasties. The Stewarts ruled Scotland for over three centuries, and their tartan became a powerful emblem of loyalty.

The “Dress” version was traditionally reserved for ceremonial occasions. The design features a crisp white background interwoven with bold overchecks of red, blue, green, yellow, and black, each colour carrying deep meaning:

White – Purity and peace

Red – Strength and courage

Blue – Scotland’s lochs and skies, symbolizing loyalty

Green – Natural beauty and enduring heritage

Yellow – Prosperity and optimism

Black – Endurance and resilience

By incorporating this historic pattern, St. Anne’s pays tribute to a legacy that spans centuries, while creating a distinctive symbol for its own community.
