About our Cape Breton Tartan; In 1907, Mrs.Lillian Crewe Walsh,
of Glace Bay, Cape Breton, wrote a poem in praise of Cape
Breton. The poem was given by. Mrs.Walsh to Mrs.Grant in 1957
and the tartan designed to accord with the poem.
Grey for our Cape Breton Steel
Gold for the golden sunsets shining bright on the lakes of
Bras D'or
Green for our lofty mountains,our valleys and our fields
To show us,GOD's hand has lingered
To Bless Cape Breton's shores.
