In 1907, Mrs Lillian Crewe Walsh of
Glace Bay, Cape Breton, wrote a poem in
praise of Cape Breton.
this 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,
Green for our lofty mountains,
our valleys and our fields;
Gold for the Golden Sunsets,
Shining bright on the lakes of Bras d’Or,
To show us God’s hand has lingered,
To bless Cape Breton’s shores.
