Made to Order Wool Tartan Handfast Ribbon 1800 Tartan: MacDonald of Clanranald ModernHandfasts form part of an ancient Celtic tradition still used in wedding ceremonies in Scotland. Traditionally, a piece of cloth was tied around the engaged couple's held hands during a handfasting ceremony which symbolised the joining of two lives and two families. This is where the expression 'tying the knot' comes from. It is traditional to have a tartan ribbon representing each of the wedding couple to showcase the union of their two families.
