  • Notes:

    According to the STS: The Kerrs are believed to be of Viking descent, arriving in the Borders of Scotland by way of France. The Kerrs of Ferniehurst lived near Jedburgh. The Marquesses of Lothian now lives at Monteviot. The true origin of the tartan is unknown as the claims of antiquity in the Vestiarium Scoticum (1842), where this sett first appears, are doubtful. Remove the central black band from the maroon and this is the Stewart of Atholl tartan.
