The Anderson Ancient Tartan has a rich historical significance rooted in the legacy of the Anderson Clan, which dates back to the 13th century. Originating in the Lowlands of Scotland, the clan later migrated to the Highlands, establishing ties with the ancient Kingdom of Moray. The name 'Anderson' is derived from the Greek name 'Andreas,' meaning "manly," and hints at the clan's martial heritage. Notable events in their history include battles fought at Bannockburn in 1314 and Flodden in 1513. While the clan does not have a recognized chief, a Clan Council of armigerous gentlemen oversees its affairs. The Anderson name remains one of the most popular surnames in Scotland, symbolizing a strong connection to Scottish culture and pride.
