Paberilts

Paberilts are a type of traditional Scottish tartan fabric, known for their distinctive pattern and vibrant colors. The term "paberilts" is derived from the Scottish Gaelic word "pàipearailte," which means "papered" or "lined." This name reflects the intricate, often geometric designs that resemble paper patterns.

The history of paberilts can be traced back to the 18th century, during the Jacobite risings. These tartans were often worn by the Jacobite supporters, who were fighting against the British government. The patterns were designed to be easily recognizable and to serve as a symbol of rebellion. Over time, paberilts evolved to include a wider range of designs and colors, reflecting the diverse cultural heritage of Scotland.

Today, paberilts are still popular among tartan enthusiasts and are often used in the creation of kilts, skirts, and other traditional Scottish garments. The vibrant colors and intricate patterns of paberilts make them a distinctive and visually appealing choice for those who wish to embrace Scottish heritage.
