About this tartan

The Horsburgh name comes from the lands of Horsburgh by the River Tweed near Peebles, where the family built Horsburgh Castle in the 16th century. The family appears in records from the reign of Alexander II, when Symon de Horsbroc witnessed a charter at Melrose Abbey in 1230; another Simon paid homage to Edward I of England in 1297. By 1479 Alexander Horsbrugh of that Ilk held the castle, and between 1529 and 1555 John Horsbrugh of that Ilk rebuilt it
