Abercrombie Ancient Tartan

Historical Significance

The Abercrombie Ancient Tartan can be traced back to 1831, documented in James Logan's book, The Scottish Gael. Its name derives from the small parish of Abercromby in Fife, where the title and lands were granted to a supporter of Edward I of England. This lineage leads to William de Abercromby, indicating a Norman connection. By the late 17th century, the Abercromby title transitioned to the Abercrombies of Birkenbog in Banffshire, a family known for resisting the Reformation and supporting the Covenanters. Sir Ralph Abercrombie emerged as a notable military figure in the 18th century, whose strategies played a crucial role in British victories and influenced the Duke of Wellington against the French.
