Historical Context
The Ogilvie of Airlie Ancient Tartan is linked to the Ogilvie family, a Scottish clan with origins dating back to the 12th century in Angus. The Airlie branch, established in the 15th century with their seat at Airlie Castle, is particularly notable. The clan supported Robert the Bruce during the Wars of Scottish Independence and was involved in feuds, such as with the Campbells, leading to the burning of Airlie Castle, and participated in the Jacobite risings. Today, the tartan represents the clan's enduring legacy and is worn with pride during cultural events and gatherings.
