Muir Tartan

The Muir tartan has a rich history that dates back centuries. This name comes from the Gaelic word "mor," which means large or big, or from Middle English, meaning low grassy hill or heath. It is believed that they are descended from the Pictish Celts of Ireland and Scotland. This is particularly prolific in west-central Scotland, and in Orkney, it is one of the top ten most commonly found names. In the reign of King Alexander II (1214-1249), a David de More witnessed a charter in Ayrshire. A Gilchrist More incurred the wrath of Sir Walter Comyn but later married his daughter and secured the lands of Rowallan Castle, near Kilmarnock. A descendant, Elizabeth Mure, married Robert, Steward of Scotland, latterly King Robert II. They followed James IV at Flodden in 1513 but later became advocates for the new reformed religion, latterly being persecuted as Covenanters. Sir William Mure was the sixteenth and last Mure of Rowallan. He served in Germany under Gustavus Adolphus, King of Sweden, in the 17th century. One of his daughters married Sir James Campbell of Lawers, the third son of the Earl of Loudon, who thus became Laird of Rowallan. This tartan belongs to both Highland and Lowland, and it holds significant value for both regions. The tartan's motto, Durum Patientia Frango, meaning "I overcome difficulty by patience," symbolizes the perseverance and strength of the Scottish people through adversity.
The Muir tartan's pattern is a striking blend of yellow, black, red, green, and blue. The dominant color of this tartan is green, which represents the Scottish countryside. The black in the tartan symbolizes the dark, cold winters in Scotland, and the blue represents the Scottish lochs and seas. The red and yellow stripes in the tartan symbolize the fiery spirit of the Scottish people. It is versatile pattern and can be worn by both men and women.
