Sound of Iona Tartan

The “Sound of Iona Tartan” is a unique tartan design specifically inspired by the colours and landscape of the Isle of Iona. It was founded in 2014 by a local family with deep roots on the island, aiming to create a lasting keepsake that reflects the island’s beauty and vibrant spiritual atmosphere. This bespoke tartan captures the essence of Iona’s natural palette, featuring light pastels inspired by the white sands, pink granite rocks, and translucent blue seas.

This distinctive tartan is primarily produced and sold by the “Sound of Iona” brand, which offers a range of products incorporating the design. These items can include clothing, accessories, blankets, throws, and other gifts, allowing individuals to carry a piece of Iona with them. The brand emphasizes supporting local artisans and small-scale, UK-based craftsmanship, ensuring high-quality pieces that evoke special memories of the cherished island.

The Sound of Iona Tartan serves as more than just a decorative pattern; it is a tangible connection to the island’s heritage and a celebration of its unique environment. It can be found at the Martyrs Bay Shop on Iona, which showcases the full range of Sound of Iona and Sound of Mull tartan products. This initiative contributes to the island’s cultural identity and provides a beautiful way for visitors to commemorate their connection to Iona.
