Anderson

Part of Many Clans Anderson is recognised as a name in more than one of the Highland Clans including Clan Ross and Clan Donald. James D Scarlett MBE noted in his 1975 book 'The Tartans of the Scottish Clans':
Baird

A Poets Plaid This tartan is first recorded in Johnston's work of 1906, and the sample from the Highland Society of London probably dates from the same period. In both these early references the triple stripes are rendered in red. Today, however, they are generally woven in purple. The name originates from 'bard' meaning poet. The Bairds owned estates in Aberdeenshire which were later purchased by the Gordons.
Baru

A Purple Passion This navy and purple tartan is not associated with a clan but rather a fashion tartan.
Black Watch

The Black Watch Regiment The regiment was originally raised on the orders of Charles II, In 1695. By this time there was a growing need for a "Watch", to police the black trade of Cattle Smuggling in the Scottish Highlands and this may well be where the name came from.
Buccleuch

Fit for a Duke Described by Wilson as a 'Fancy' pattern, taking inspiration from the works of Sir Walter Scott. Wilsons of Bannockburn a weaving firm founded c1770 near Stirling. The Pattern books are in the National Museum of Antiquities, Edinburgh. Copys of the Pattern books and letters in the Scottish Tartans Society archive.
Buchanan

From Cotton Mills In their 1850 book 'The Clan and Family Tartans of Scotland' W and A Smith of Mauchline wrote: The pattern here given seems to be universally considered the genuine Buchanan Tartan and we know that it is worn by Archibald Buchanan Esq, of Catrinebank, Ayrshire, whose father's name is identified with one of the first cotton manufactories established in Scotland with Arkwright's improvements.'
Caledonia

Fashion from Caledonia Also known as William Wilsons No.155. Popular in the eighteenth century this particular tartan appears in a number of guises. Romantic stories are told of its origin but in reality little is known (Gordon Teall, Scottish Tartans Society). Jamie Scarlett MBE asserts that Wilson's No 155 has never been named, and that Miss Margaret MacDougall was in error when she included it in Robert Bain's 'Clans and Tartans of Scotland' (1953) as Caledonia.
Cameron

Clan Cameron The Clan Cameron has a recorded history from the fifteenth century, although unsubstantiated histories have its roots reaching back to the supposed first chief, Angus Cameron, living about the year 1000. They resided in the "Cameron Country" of Lochaber
Cameron of Erracht

Clan Cameron Ewen Cameron of Lochiel took as his second wife Marjory MacKintosh. Their son Ewen was the first of what would become the Camerons of Erracht. This was in the early 16th century and by 1745, Donald Cameron, 7th of Erracht, was second in command of the Camerons at Glenfinnan when Prince Charles raised his standard.
Campbell

Something to Smile About It was Sir Cailein Mor Campbell's grandfather Dugald on Lochawe who is said to have been the first given the nickname "Cam Beul" since he apparently had the engaging trait of talking out of one side of his mouth. Cam beul means curved mouth in the Gaelic. This Duncan was so much loved by his family that they took his nickname as their family name and held to it even beyond Argyll.
Campbell of Cawdor

From Calder we Came The name "Cawdor" is the English pronunciation and spelling of the ancient and original name of Calder. In the early 19th century, Lord John Campbell of Calder was residing in England and changed the name of the castle, town and clan overnight so that it would match the Shakespearean designation (reference: Cawdor Historical Society).
Clark

Clan Clark The name means a man of a religious order, and later a scholar. Clan Clerich, or Clark, was one of the old 17 tribes of Clan Chattan. The territory occupied by the Clan Chattan during its long history lies mainly in east Inverness-shire and stretches from Inverness in the north to Laggan in the south.
Colquhoun

The High Road The name of Colquhoun is taken from an area of land around Kilpatrick. Since Sir Robert Kilpatrick married the Fair Maid of Luss, by Loch Lomond, in the 14th century the Colquhouns has been known as Colquhoun of Colquhoun and Luss.

Davidson

The modern-day Scottish towns of Kingussie, Newtonmore and Aviemore are located in the heart of ancient Clan Davidson lands.
Douglas

The Speyside Way Clan Davidson, which has roots at least as far back as the 13th century, is believed to have originated in the valley of the Spey river in the Scottish Highlands. The modern-day Scottish towns of Kingussie, Newtonmore and Aviemore are located in the heart of ancient Clan Davidson lands.
Elliot

No Shrinking Violet The Elliots were one of the most active, most powerful and most notorious of the Scottish Border clans. These days, Elliots can be found in almost every country in the world.
Farquharson

At home in Royal Deeside The chiefs of the Clan Farquharson trace their ancestry back to Farquhar, fourth son of Alexander "Ciar" Shaw of Rothiemurchus. The clan became known as the fighting Farquharsons due to their fierce reputation and they became strong supporters of the Stuarts.
Ferguson

A Clan with Many Branches Many families of the name were established throughout Scotland at an early date. In Perthshire there were the Fergusons of Dunfallandy and Balquhidder, in Aberdeenshire the families of Kilmundy and Pitfour, in Fife the Fergusons of Raith.
Forbes

A shortage of Wine! In 1529, Clan Forbes was involved in a feud with the citizens of Aberdeen, who withheld a sort of blackmail, a yearly tun of wine for the fishings of the Don. In July 1530 Arthur Forbes of Brux and his accomplacies attacked Aberdeen.
Fraser

Strawberries for the King! The name Fraser undoubtedly came from France. One story is that the progenitor of the Frasers was a Frenchman named Julius de Berry who in 916, regaled the King of France with dishes of ripe strawberries. In consequence, he received a royal command to change his name to Fraise, and to adopt three stalked strawberries for his family arms.
Gordon

A Welcome Addition Of Norman descent, the Gordon's were one of many families welcomed into his kingdom by King David I of Scotland and settled in the village and estates of Gordon, near Kelso. Because the Gordon family did not start as a “clan”, it is often referred to as the House of Gordon.

Caledonian Chief There is a legend that says the Antonine Wall was broken by Greme, a great Caledonian chief, as he drove the Roman legions out of his country. This, unfortunately, might never be proven. The Grahams of Menteith are an important branch of Clan Graham.
Grant

Sheriff of Inverness The earliest recordings of Grants in Scotland are from the mid-thirteenth century, and describe the acquisition of Stratherrick land through the marriage of a Grant to Sir John Bisset’s daughter Mary. One of their two children was Sir Laurence le Grand, who became the Sheriff of Inverness. The family supported Robert the Bruce towards his acquisition of the Scottish crown.
Grey Granite

The Granite City Aberdeen has many nicknames but The Silver City and the Granite city come from the granite rock that was used to build much of the city. The Grey Granite tartan is a celebration of the city perhaps best known in the song 'The Northern Lights of Old Aberdeen'..
