About this tartan

Clan Lyon's origins are debated: Sir Iain Moncreiffe held that the Lyons descended from a younger son of Clan Lamont, while a doubtful alternative derives them from a French family called de Léon. The clan's rise began in the fourteenth century when Robert II granted Sir John Lyon, known as the White Lyon, the thanage of Glamis in 1372, and Lyon's marriage to the king's daughter, Princess Jean Stewart, cemented the family's status at court. John Lyon, 8th Lord Glamis, became Lord Chancellor of Scotland in 1573
