The Boyd Ancient Tartan has deep historical roots, tracing back to the Boyd family, who were vassals of the influential Anglo-Norman de Morville family in Scotland's Lowlands. The Boyds likely originated from England, and their prominence surged in the mid-15th century, particularly with Robert Boyd, the eldest child of Sir Thomas Boyd of Kilmarnock, who was granted the title of Lord Boyd by King James II of Scotland in 1460. This period was marked by significant political dynamics, including the tragic demise of James II in a cannon explosion, leading to young James III's ascension. Lord Boyd subsequently became the Protector and Regent of Scotland, solidifying the family's historical significance.
