The Bell of the Borders Tartan was designed in 1984 for Col. William H. Bell of California.

Black is for the border and in remembrance of our dead;
Blue is for the sky above and the oceans o'er we fled;
Green is for the border's hue and the promise of nature's plan;
Red is for the blood we've shed, our courage and elan;
Yellow is the sunburst;
Our honor shining bright for all to tell
That soon, with justice proper
The reestablishment of clan Bell
-- William H. Bell

Our wool Bell of the Borders tartan fabric was custom-woven for us by one of Scotland’s finest mills. Handmade in New York City, with distinctive finishes like a grosgrain neckband, self-loop and self-tipped. Each tie is 58-inches long and 3-inches wide.
