About this tartan
The origin of the Forsyth name is uncertain; if Celtic, it may come from the Gaelic Fearsithe, 'man of peace'. William de Fersith appears on the Ragman Roll of 1296, and the family later settled around Stirling, where Osbert's son was made constable of Stirling Castle in 1368. One branch descended from Alexander, 4th Baron of Nydie, who fell at the Battle of Flodden in 1513; his descendants acquired lands near the royal Falkland Palace in Fife, where John Forsyth became the king's macer in 1538, and today's chief descends from these Falkland Forsyths
