Historical Significance
The history of the Irvine Clan and its tartan is deeply rooted in Scottish heritage. Originating in the 12th century, the clan's name is believed to come from the Brythonic word "ir-afon," meaning "green water." The Irvines first established themselves in Dumfriesshire, with family tradition linking their origins to early Celtic monarchs of Scotland. The clan's historic seat is Drum Castle in Aberdeenshire, granted to William de Irwin by Robert the Bruce in 1325 as a reward for his loyal service.'Throughout history, the Irvine Clan played significant roles in Scotland's turbulent past. During the Jacobite risings of the 18th century, members of the clan supported the Jacobite cause, fighting in the Battle of Sheriffmuir in 1715 and the Battle of Culloden in 1746. Despite facing adversity, the clan maintained its prominence, with Drum Castle remaining under their ownership until 1975 when it was transferred to the National Trust for Scotland. The Irvine tartan is a symbol of the clan's enduring legacy, reflecting their strength and resilience. This tartan is proudly worn by clan members and those with connections to Scottish heritage, serving as a reminder of the clan's rich history and contributions to Scotland's cultural fabric.
