Erskine Black and White Tartan

Historical Significance

The Erskine Tartan traces its origins to the region of Erskine, located south of the River Clyde, just ten miles west of Glasgow. The name is believed to derive from ancient British, translating to 'green growing ground.' This area is steeped in history, particularly associated with the illustrious Kildrummy Castle in Aberdeenshire, which served as an official residence for the Earls of Mar and remained under the stewardship of the Erskine family until 1716. The tartan symbolizes the rich cultural heritage of Scotland, weaving together stories of nobility, land, and legacy.
