Aurora - Orkney 2025 International Island Games Tartan
A special tartan has been designed to celebrate the Games. Created by Scottish Borders’ mill Lochcarron of Scotland, in collaboration with Aurora Jewellery and Beccy May, Vice Chair of Orkney 2025, inspiration for the design was taken from the vibrant colours in the Games logo. It celebrates Orkney’s unique heritage and its role as host to one of the world’s most inspiring island sporting events. It pays tribute to the landscapes, culture, and community spirit that define the islands. The striking design produced in lambswool, is being made into wraps, scarves and ties along with a variety of accessories, available for visitors and competitors to purchase as a memento of the Orkney 2025 Island Games.
Beccy May, Vice Chair of Orkney 2025, said, "Being involved in creating the tartan for the Orkney 2025 International Island Games was a real honour. I wanted every thread and colour to reflect the spirit of the islands - the blues of the surrounding seas, the greens of our windswept landscapes, and the vibrant reds and golds symbolising community, heritage, and celebration. This tartan represents the connection across all of the island communities involved in the Games coming together through sport."
