About this tartan

Clan Urquhart is a Highland clan tracing its name to the district of Urquhart, historically recorded as Airchardan in early sources, with legendary origins linking a Conachar of the royal house of Ulster to lands by Loch Ness. The family's documented history centers on Cromarty, where Sir William Urquhart was knighted in 1416 and later generations built a castle at Cromarty that stood until its demolition in 1772. Craigston Castle in Aberdeenshire has served as the Urquhart family's ancestral seat since the early 17th century
