The Belfast Tartan
The Belfast Tartan celebrates the city's heart and heritage: yellow for the iconic Samson and Goliath gantries of Harland & Wolff, symbols of maritime pride; black for the ever-present Black Mountain; blue for Belfast Lough, the River Lagan, and the flax flower's petals; white for the renowned linen that made Belfast "Linenopolis"; and Ancient Scarlet for the warm red bricks that built the city's streets, terraces, and landmarks from local clay, giving Belfast its distinctive architectural warmth.
Striking Yellow
For the bold, unmistakable yellow of Samson and Goliath, the legendary Harland & Wolff gantries that tower over the eastern approaches, welcoming visitors and workers alike as enduring emblems of the city's world-dominating shipbuilding and maritime heritage.
Solid Black
For the steadfast Black Mountain in the west, a dark, protective presence whose shadow has sheltered generations of Belfast families and shaped the city's western communities.
Vibrant Blues
For the deep, life-giving waters of Belfast Lough and the River Lagan, the arteries of trade and growth; and for the gentle blue petals of the flax flower that once bloomed in the fields around the city.
Stunning White
For the pure, world-famous Irish linen spun from that flax, which earned Belfast its proud nickname "Linenopolis" and carried its reputation across the globe.
Ancient Scarlet
For the warm, weathered red of Belfast's iconic brick buildings—the terraced streets, Victorian warehouses, and grand institutions that form the very fabric of the city, built from local clays and standing as testaments to its industrial past and enduring character.
