About this tartan

By tradition the family won lands near Biggar after one of them saved King William the Lion from a wild boar. Robert the Bruce later granted the barony of Cambusnethan to a Robert Baird. From Lanarkshire a branch of the family spread north to Banffshire and then to Auchmedden in Aberdeenshire, where the King confirmed a charter of the Auchmedden lands to Andrew Baird of Laveroklaw in 1534
