A COMMEMORATIVE tartan to symbolise the lasting effects the Covid pandemic has had on the communities in the Scottish Borders is to be unveiled.
Since the project was launched last Autumn there have been more than 700 contributions to help shape the decision to make a new commemorative tartan for the area.A key influence for the colours of the tartan was the Borders landscape as it encompasses the blues and greens of the sea, rivers, and reservoirs with the bright greens and yellows which Spring brings with the heather and forests.
Others spoke of hope and a new-forged community. Contributors wanted to design a tartan which incorporated the five localities of the Borders with many wanting it to join people across the whole region. “It honours lives lost, it respects the extraordinary labour of those whose work filled with new challenges, and it contains the multitude of ways people moved forwards individually and together.”The artists have created exhibitions, walks, theatre and dance, books, and films, which have toured nationally and internationally.We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories.
