About this tartan

Clan Strachan takes its name from the barony, now village, of Strachan in Aberdeenshire. The Strachans of Thornton and of Glenkindie became the two principal branches of the name. The lands of Strachan were erected into a barony by William the Lion around 1189-95, and the 'de Strachan' family, probably of Anglo-Norman descent, likely gained it by marriage
