Each pattern, or “sett,” carries history within its stripes, making tartan a living thread that connects Scotland’s past with communities across the globe today.

The Stewarts are a prominent Scottish clan with a rich and complex history. Tracing their origins back to the 11th century, they are well known for playing a significant role in Scottish politics. The name Stewart/Stuart originates from the word “steward”, someone who is given power and influence by a monarch to rule in their name.
