colors & symbolism: any connection?
Do the colors in a tartan have any symbolism? For example, does white stand for purity, blue for fidelity, red for courage, etc.? I heard from someone (I can't remember whom) that green represents the heather, blue stands for Highland waters, white represents snow, and some other things I can't remember.
Is there any truth to this, or is it a back-invention to romanticize (and thereby sell more) woolen fabric?
