Drummond Grey Tartan

Historical Significance

Explore the history of the Drummond Grey Tartan, deeply tied to the esteemed Drummond Clan. Originating in Perthshire, Scottish Highlands, this tartan has strong connections to Drymen, Stirlingshire. The Drummonds trace their ancestry to the 11th century, led by Yorik, a Hungarian prince, and Princess Margaret Atheling. Throughout the Wars of Scottish Independence, the clan played a significant role, with notable figures like Sir Malcolm Drummond and James Drummond, the 1st Earl of Perth. Drummond Castle, a remarkable Scottish fortress, stands as their stronghold since the 15th century, offering visitors a glimpse into their rich heritage. The clan's loyalty to the Royalist cause during the Battle of Bannockburn led to their integration with the Royal line and the creation of the Barony of Drummond. Despite challenges faced during rebellions, the Drummonds endured and returned to their ancestral lands in 1784.
