About this tartan

Clan Primrose is a Lowland Scottish family whose name comes from the lands of Primrose in Dunfermline parish, Fife, in present-day Rosyth. The earliest traceable ancestor of the family, Henry Primrose, lived near Culross Abbey before 1490. His descendants rose through royal service: his son Gilbert Primrose became surgeon to King James VI, and in the Civil War Archibald Primrose backed the Royalist cause, joining the Marquess of Montrose after his victory at Kilsyth
