This tartan pays homage to the distinguished Dunbar family, deeply entrenched in Scottish heritage. It begins with Crinan of Dunkeld, the renowned Thane and Seneschal of the Isles, born around 975. As the father of King Duncan I and revered grandfather of Gospatric, Crinan's legacy was firmly established. The castle, witnessing pivotal moments in Scotland's history, sheltered Edward II of England after the Battle of Bannockburn, while Black Agnes valiantly defended it against the Earl of Salisbury. The lineage traces back to Gospatric, granted Dunbar lands by King Malcolm III, rising to the rank of Earl. Their indomitable spirit shone through as their castle walls withstood English attacks in 1338. Turmoil struck with the 1598 raid by Clan Cameron, yet strategic marriages intertwined their lineage with the esteemed Earl of Moray title. Despite the forfeiture of the Earldom in 1435, their fortunes thrived in Moray despite a feud with Clan Innes. Numerous cadet branches perpetuated their legacy, carried forward by Sir James Michael, the 39th Hereditary Chief of the Name and Arms, and 14th Baronet of Mochrum. His retired Colonel status in the United States Air Force embodies the values of valor and honor reflected in this tartan.
