Graham of Menteith Ancient Tartan

Historical Context

The Graham of Menteith tartan has deep roots in Scottish history, representing the nobility of the Grahams of Menteith. This clan, known for their badge featuring a falcon armed with a stork, boasts a legacy that dates back to Patrick Graham, who married Euphemia, Countess of Strathearne. Their Latin motto, “NE OUBLIE” (Do not forget), symbolizes their enduring heritage. The clan faced significant challenges, particularly in 1427 when Earl Malise became a hostage following the seizure of their lands by King James I. Despite these trials, the Grahams of Menteith upheld their legacy, making notable contributions during events such as the Battle of Sauchieburn in 1488, and they remain a respected branch within the wider Graham clan.
