This tartan has been designed to celebrate the Labrador scottish heritage. The starting point was the tartan of the Grants of Strathspey since Donald Smith, Lord Strathcona, one of the founders of the Dominion of Canada, was a grandson of the family. The sett and the colours have been changed to make the tartan uniquely Labradorian.

Donald Smith set the standard for fur trapping and trading that was the principle element of the pioneer economy. A woven sample of this tartan has been received by the Scottish Register of Tartans for permanent preservation in the National Archives of Scotland.
