Arbuthnot Tartan

Historical Context: Clan Arbuthnot has a deep and storied history, with its roots in the northeastern village of Arbuthnott in Kincardineshire, where the family has resided since around 1195. Originally, the lands of Arbuthnot were believed to be held by the Swinton family during the reign of William I of Scotland. The Arbuthnot name first appeared in 1355 when Philip de Arbuthnot was recorded as "of that ilk." The clan's tartan was officially registered with the Lord Lyon in 1962. Today, the clan is led by Keith Arbuthnot, the 17th Viscount of Arbuthnot, continuing an unbroken lineage spanning over 35 generations. The clan motto, "Laus Deo" (Praise be to God), reflects their enduring faith and commitment to their heritage.

Color Scheme and Pattern: The Arbuthnot Tartan features a balanced mix of deep blues and greens, intersected by bold black lines and accented with bright white stripes. This pattern is a visual representation of the clan's connection to the Scottish landscape, symbolizing both their deep roots and vibrant legacy. The tartan's design serves to unite members of the Arbuthnot clan, while also making a distinctive statement at formal gatherings and clan events.
