Meet the Happy Tartan Girls!
If you've been following along with Happy Tartan, you’ll know it’s always been about colour, creativity, and connection—and now, it’s time to introduce you to a brand new part of the journey… The Happy Tartan Girls!
These bright, bold characters have come to life straight from the heart of what Happy Tartan is all about. Over the years, I’ve written countless stories, created worlds, and filled notebooks with characters—and this time, I knew I wanted to bring a team of joyful, inspiring girls to life. I imagined a crew who could wear tartan proudly, share kindness and creativity, and take children on fun-filled adventures through cartoon land, with a little Highland sparkle and a whole lot of heart.
🌈 So who are they?
The Happy Tartan Girls are six brilliant characters, each with their own tartan, personality, and passion. From Blaire’s cool confidence to Bonnie’s natural leadership, these girls are ready to explore, create, and celebrate everything from Scottish heritage to big ideas and wild imagination.
🌍 Where do they live?
Right here, on the beautiful Isle of Bute! They march in parades, explore nature, create art, and dream up plans that bring people together. Their adventures will take you across beaches, through forests, into fun-filled shows, and down streets buzzing with tartan-clad fun.
📚 What can you expect?
You’ll find them in our growing collection of picture books, activity sheets, and downloadable fun. They’ll teach you about different tartans, talk about Scottish culture in kid-friendly ways, and—most importantly—remind everyone that being kind, creative, and happy is always in style.
💖 Why the Tartan Girls?
Because I wanted to create something special—something that children could laugh with, learn from, and see themselves in. Happy Tartan has always been about joy, and this felt like the perfect next step: a colourful, character-led world full of positivity.
So here they are—The Happy Tartan Girls—ready to meet you, show you who they are, and take you on big, brilliant adventures. I hope you love them as much as I do.
Let the tartan fun begin!
