The Keith Ancient Tartan boasts a rich heritage deeply rooted in Scottish culture. Its origins can be traced back to the influential Clan MacAulay, renowned for their bravery and loyalty, particularly in the Lennox district of Dumbartonshire. The tartan pattern is a testament to the strong bond between the Austins and Keiths, evidenced by historical records showing Alexander Austin's involvement as a cautioner for George Keith, Earl Marshal, in a 1587 legal dispute. The name Austin, evolving through various spellings, is believed to derive from the Gaelic word Uisdean. This tartan has become a symbol of Scottish pride, often utilized in traditional clothing and modern accessories, celebrating the legacy of the MacAulay clan's significant role in Scotland's quest for independence.
