Historical Significance
The Halcrow Howell Ancient Tartan embodies the rich heritage of the Halcrow family, whose lineage can be traced back to the Orkney Islands. The clan crest features a lion rampant, symbolizing strength and courage. The motto "Fortis et Fidus," meaning "Brave and Trusty," reflects the clan's dedication to loyalty and valor. This tartan stands as a testament to the Halcrow clan's resilience during Scotland's tumultuous history, particularly during the clan wars and shifting alliances of the medieval period. Notable figures such as Sir William Halcrow played a significant role in defending their ancestral lands, further solidifying the tartan's significance within Scottish culture.
