TARTANS OF CANADA
BRUCE COUNTY
DESCRIPTION
This tartan was developed by the committee for the Centennial celebrations of Bruce County in 1967. The committee approached the Chief of the Clan Bruce, the Earl of Elgin and Kincardine, to vary the colour of the Bruce sett. Lord Bruce, the Chief’s son, agreed and suggested that a blue guard be added on either side of the white stripe, symbolising the long coastline of Bruce County.
The tartan was registered in the Lyon Court Books on the 19th January 1965 and later approved by the County Council at a formal ceremony on the 10th July 1965.
