About this tartan

Strathearn is the strath (valley) of the River Earn in Perthshire, and gave its name to one of Scotland's oldest earldoms rather than to a personal clan. The Mormaers, later Earls, of Strathearn are documented from the early 12th century, with Malise I recorded fighting at the Battle of the Standard in 1138; the native Gaelic line continued for roughly two centuries before the earldom was forfeited around 1332-1334. The title subsequently passed to the Moray and then Stewart families, with Robert Stewart (later King Robert II) holding it in the 14th century
