Historical Context
The Menzies tartan has deep historical roots dating back to the 13th century. Robert de Meyers served as Lord High Chamberlain, overseeing the Menzies lands in Aberfeldy and Glendochart. Their loyalty to Robert the Bruce was evident during the pivotal Battle of Bannockburn in 1314. In 1423, David Menzies was appointed Governor of Orkney and Shetland, showcasing the family's prominence. By 1487, Sir Robert de Menzies had his lands established as a free barony, and in 1665, Sir Alexander Menzies was created a Baronet of Nova Scotia, further solidifying the family's legacy. The Menzies Dress Dance Black & White Tartan captures this rich heritage, making it a significant emblem of Scottish culture.
