About this tartan

Alexander Burnard (Burnett) supported Robert the Bruce, who in 1323 gave him land near Banchory and made him Royal Forester of Drum. The Horn of Leys, said to be Bruce's gift, is kept at Crathes Castle. For roughly two and a half centuries the family lived on a crannog, a loch dwelling, before beginning construction of the stone tower of Crathes Castle in 1553, completed by a later Alexander Burnett in 1596
