The Elliot Clan, steeped in the annals of Scottish history, embodies a legacy of leadership and valor that transcends centuries. Established in 1977 by Sir Arthur Eliott, the 11th Baronet of Stobs and Laird of Redheugh, the Elliot Clan Society heralds a lineage of remarkable continuity and deep-rooted heritage, with Margaret Eliott of Redheugh, its 29th chief, symbolizing the enduring spirit of this distinguished family. The Elliot Ancient Tartan, registered in 1880, stands out with its vibrant hues of light royal blue, orange and maroon, a testament to the clan's unique identity and style. This tartan's coloring, while consistent in its elegance, varies notably between mills, reflecting the artisanal quality and individuality of each piece. The Elliots, a Border Clan integral to the Reiver raids, carved their name into the rugged landscape of the Scottish-English border. Their motto, "Fortiter Et Recte" (Boldly and Rightly), captures their fearless pursuit of justice. Originating from the village of Eliot in Angus, the clan's historical journey is marked by significant contributions to the empire and judiciary, including figures like Gen. George Augustus Eliott and Sir Gilbert Elliot-Murray-Kynynmound. Their adaptation and innovation in tartan design, seen in the evening variations and silk items, illustrate a commitment to evolving their cultural symbols.
The Elliot Ancient Tartan weaves a tale of heritage and honor with its base of serene blue, beautifully contrasted by maroon and orange overchecks. This intricate interlacing not only reflects the tartan's distinguished history but also its adaptability and flair for innovation. The variability in the blue hue, from mill to mill, adds a layer of uniqueness, ensuring that each tartan piece is as individual as the person who wears it. This stunning pattern, rooted in the traditions of the Elliot Clan, offers a blend of sophistication and cultural pride.
