Historical Context
Discover the fascinating history behind the enchanting Rutherford Tartan, a symbol of ancestral pride and timeless elegance. Designed by the talented Phil Smith for Keith Rutherford of Davison, Michigan, USA, this tartan carries a profound connection to its wearers. The name Rutherford and its spelling variations extend its embrace to all individuals with this distinguished lineage. Crafted with unparalleled precision and artistry, the Rutherford Tartan is brought to life by the skilled weavers of D C Dalgliesh, based in Selkirk. The crest features a captivating martlet in Sable, evoking a sense of freedom and nobility. With the timeless motto, "Nec Sorte, Nec Fato," this tartan symbolizes the resilience and determination that define the Rutherford spirit. Steeped in territorial origins, the name Rutherford is intricately linked to lands in Roxburghshire, a region rich in history and tales of bravery. Although the clan stands armigerous without a chief, the Rutherford Tartan embodies the collective pride of its wearers and preserves the legacy of generations past.

Vibrant yellow and red streaks interweave throughout the design, representing hope and passion.
