Campbell Of Loudon Modern Tartan

The Campbell Clan of Loudon, also known as Clan Campbell of Loudoun, is a Scottish clan that originated from Ayrshire. The Campbell Clan, known for their Diarmid ancestry, held significant power in the West of Scotland and Argyllshire. Their influence was established in the 13th century when they gained the Lordship of Lochow. Colin Campbell of Lochow, the father of the Argyll Campbells, was knighted in 1280. The clan's legacy continued with subsequent Earls of Argyll, and in 1701, William of Orange conferred a Dukedom to the 10th Earl. However, the 9th Earl faced execution in 1685 for his involvement in the Monmouth Rebellion. The Campbells played a vital role in state affairs, with high-ranking positions such as the Hereditary Lord Justice General and Admiral for the Western Coasts and Isles of Scotland. The Campbell of Loudon Modern Tartan, crafted from pure wool, boasts predominantly blue hues with dark, strong tones in its modern colorway.
The clan's founder was Sir Hugh de Loudoun, who lived in the 12th century.
The clan was one of the most influential families in Scotland during the medieval period and the Wars of Scottish Independence. They supported Robert the Bruce and later fought in the Battle of Bannockburn. The clan's name comes from the Gaelic "Cam Beul," meaning "crooked mouth," which may have referred to a physical characteristic of the clan's founder. The Campbell of Loudon Modern Tartan features a bold and striking combination of black, white, and red. The modern tartan design was created in the mid-20th century and is a popular choice for those who want to celebrate their Scottish heritage. The tartan can be worn for various occasions, from formal events to casual outings. It is made from high-quality wool and is suitable for making kilts, trousers, scarves, and other accessories. The Campbell of Loudon Modern Tartan is a timeless symbol of Scottish heritage and a proud representation of the clan's rich history.
