Introducing the Autumn Woodland Walk Tartan 

A Tribute to Nature’s Palette 

Step into the enchanting world of Araminta Campbell’s latest Heritage Tartan design, Autumn Woodland Walk. Crafted by our founder and esteemed Scottish textile designer, Araminta Campbell, this exquisite tartan is a vivid celebration of the beech woodlands surrounding her family home in the Royal Deeside Corridor during Autumn. 

The Inspiration Behind the Design 

This tartan features a stunning array of rich oranges, deep reds, and vibrant greens, inspired by the breathtaking view through the trees. It artfully depicts the deep, rich hues of rain-soaked tree trunks coated with vivid green moss, the vibrant mosaic of orange and red leaves carpeting the forest floor, and the brilliant canopy of autumn foliage. Picture the crisp air, the soothing sound of small natural waterfalls, the crackling sound of the carpet of fallen leaves under foot, and the serene, timeless beauty of an autumn woodland walk. 

Nature’s Dyes, Nature’s Story 

Every colour, a testament to nature’s palette, was originally obtained by Araminta through natural plant dyes harvested from the surrounding landscape. These natural hues were then meticulously matched and dyed on a larger scale to faithfully reflect the original, vibrant colours. Each thread tells a story of Scotland’s untouched beauty, inviting you to embrace the artistry of nature woven into every fibre. 

The Craftsmanship Behind the Tartan 

Each piece is millwoven in the heart of Scotland using 100% lambswool, carefully sourced for its quality and softness. We partner with mills dedicated to excellence and mastery of traditional weaving techniques. These millwoven pieces are exceptional examples of traditional Scottish craftsmanship and, with proper care, will last a lifetime.
