About this tartan

The Sinclairs are believed to have come from Normandy. Their chiefs were Barons of Roslin in Lothian and later Earls of Orkney and of Caithness; William Sinclair, 1st Earl of Caithness, founded Rosslyn Chapel. Sinclairs held the earldom of Orkney in the medieval period and later the earldom of Caithness, building the formidable clifftop stronghold of Castle Sinclair Girnigoe near Wick
