Historical Significance

The Benson Ancient Tartan is steeped in history, representing the heritage of the Benson family. The Benson surname is believed to have originated from "Ben's son," denoting lineage or descent from a person named Ben. While the Bensons were not traditionally a Highland clan, they were known for their roles in various parts of Scotland and Northern England, particularly in maritime activities. The Benson crest depicts a wolf’s head erased, symbolizing bravery and perseverance, and their motto, "De bon vouloir servir le roy," translates to "To serve the king with good will," reflecting the family’s historical loyalty.

Color Scheme & Pattern

The Benson Ancient Tartan features a distinctive blend of colors: a deep black background accented with bright red, white, and a soft turquoise blue. The black represents strength and resilience, the red signifies courage and passion, while the turquoise brings an element of serenity, symbolizing the clan’s harmony and balance. The pattern consists of evenly spaced red and turquoise lines crisscrossing the black backdrop, creating a sharp yet classic plaid pattern that is visually striking and easy to identify.
