Whether you’re dressing a classroom for Burns Night, decorating for St Andrew’s Day, or just after a bit of Highland charm for a ceilidh or Scottish-themed event, our free tartan bunting printable is exactly what you need. With 12 unique tartan-style triangle flags, each in a different colourway, from classic reds and greens to soft pinks and moody purples. There’s a design to suit almost any occasion!
What’s included
The pack contains 12 tartan bunting designs, each flag measuring 14x14cm, with two flags per colour printed on each A4 sheet (12 pages in total). Simply print, cut, and string together to create a run of colourful, plaid-patterned bunting perfect for classroom displays, notice boards, window decorations, or party tables.
Perfect for the classroom
Tartan bunting is a brilliant, low-effort way to bring a bit of Scottish culture into your classroom display. It works beautifully alongside a Burns Night topic, a St Andrew’s Day assembly, or a wider unit on Scotland, the UK, or British Isles geography. Pin some above your reading corner, along a display board, or across a “Scotland Week” table for an instant visual upgrade — no laminator required (although lamination will help it last longer if you’re planning to reuse it year after year).
Great for Scottish events too
This isn’t just for schools. The tartan colour variety makes this printable bunting ideal for:
- Burns Night suppers — string it above the table for an easy, budget-friendly decoration
- St Andrew’s Day celebrations — schools, community halls, and family gatherings alike
- Highland games and fetes — cheerful, weatherproof-if-laminated bunting for outdoor stalls
- Scottish weddings and ceilidhs — mix and match tartans for a personal touch
- Hogmanay parties — ring in the New Year with a festive Scottish flourish
Because there are 12 different tartan designs, you can either pick your favourite and print multiples for a uniform look, or mix several together for a more eclectic, multicoloured bunting run (great if you want it to tie in with house colours or a specific tartan theme).
A simple, effective classroom resource
Bunting is one of those small details that makes a display feel finished, and tartan adds instant Scottish flair without needing to source (or afford!) genuine tartan fabric. It’s a quick print-and-go resource for busy teachers, and flexible enough to suit school displays, home celebrations, or community events throughout the year — not just around Burns Night or St Andrew’s Day.
Psst! Love tartan? There’s more where that came from!
If our bunting’s given your display a taste for tartan, check out our tartan alphabet printable or our officially named tartans. And if you’d rather skip the printing altogether, our shop stocks the same 12 tartan designs as stickers — ideal for reward charts, craft projects, or just a treat for pupils who love a bit of pattern and colour.
