Weir Tartan

Historical Context

The Weir Tartan has a rich history that dates back to the 12th century in the Scottish Lowlands. The name Weir, along with its variants like Wear and Vere, is believed to originate from the Norman name Vere, introduced by Norsemen into Normandy. The term "ver" relates to the Old English "weir," meaning "a dam." The Weir Clan has notable figures, including Robert Weir, who was a physician to Mary, Queen of Scots, and John Weir, a distinguished 19th-century painter. The clan rose to prominence in the 16th century, gaining control of the estates of Blackwood and other lands. Renowned for their metalworking skills, the Weir Clan crafted various weapons and tools. Major-General Thomas Weir, a 17th-century figure known for both his military service and alleged witchcraft, adds to the clan's mystique. The Weir Tartan symbolizes this enduring heritage and tradition.
