As the original tartan of the Araminta Campbell brand, Beech Dappled Skies marks the beginning of our design story. Our founder and renowned Scottish textile designer Araminta Birse-Stewart draws inspiration from her childhood memories of the beech tree woodland surrounding her family home in Aberdeenshire nestled within the Royal Deeside Corridor.
The tartan design beautifully depicts the serene blue skies gently filtering through the dappling leaves of the beach tree woodland. The dappled light and luscious leaves, the soft colour of the tree trunks and the light blue skies can all be admired within this beautiful tartan. Every colour, a testament to nature’s palette, lovingly obtained by Araminta through natural plant dyes including indigo, nettle and oak bark. Embrace the artistry of nature, woven into every fibre of this tartan and immerse yourself in the beauty of Scotland’s untouched landscape.
This tartan is the sister to Autumn Woodland Walk sharing the same design but crafted in two distinct colourways that mirror the shifting landscape of the woodlands throughout the seasons.
