A History of Tartans

Royal Stewart Tartan

The Stewart name is descended from a French noble whose son Walter came to Scotland in the 12th Century and was appointed to th prestigious title of High Steward of the Royal House. In later years, Walter the 6th married Robert the Bruce's daughter, and it is from them that the Royal House of Stewart is descended.

The Black (or dress) Stewart is a veriat of the Toyal Stewart tartan which is generally referred to simply as the Royal Tartan and has been associated with the Royal House of Stewart for several centuries.

Camel Thomson Tartan

The name Thomson literally means "Son of Thom" or Thomas. The Thomson tartan is relatively recent in that the Dress(blue) Thomson and Hunting(Green) were first registered with Lord Lyon on behalf og Lord Thomson of Fleet in 1958, but are now available to all Thomson. The very popular Cameal Thomson is a variation on these. The earliest record in Scotland is Adam Thomson, a Lord in Ayrshire in 1370.

Black Watch Tartan

This tartan belongs to the famous 42nd Royal Highland Regiment. In the early 18th Century there was great unrest in the Highlands with the Jacobite Risings. To restore peace on the land, a military force or "watch" was formed in six independent companies. They carried out their duties with such fervour and price that the Government formed them into one Regiment - the 42nd Royal Regiment. To honour this new Platoon a tartan was created, and because of its sombre colour and distinction from the scarlet uniform othe regular army, the Regiment was known as "Am Freiceadan Dubh" or the "Black Watch". A memorial cairn was erected in honour of the Regiment in 1887 on the banks of the river Tay.
