About the Mow Family Tartan
The Mow name — also Molle and Mowe — is an old Scottish Borders name, taken from the lands of Mow, or Molle, in Roxburghshire, among the Cheviot hills near Morebattle. An old family "of that Ilk," the Mows held their lands from early medieval times. As a family name of the Borders rather than a Highland clan, Mow is most fittingly matched with a Border district tartan.
This collection brings a fitting Scottish tartan into wearable apparel, everyday accessories, home decor and meaningful heritage gifts, honouring an old name of the Scottish Border country.
Mow Tartan Pattern and Colours
This collection draws on a cool ground of teal and green crossed with black and lifted by a soft line — dignified, handsome colours fitting for an old family of the Border hills and the valleys of Roxburghshire.
Mow Heritage
The lands of Mow, or Molle, lay among the Cheviot hills of Roxburghshire, in the debatable country of the Scottish Borders. From these lands the family took their name, and are recorded from early times as the Mows of that Ilk, holding their ground through the turbulent centuries of the Border marches, when the reiving families held sway.
Like other Border families, the Mows knew the hard life of the frontier country, between Scotland and England, where loyalty to kin and land counted above all. From their Roxburghshire home the name spread, in its various forms, across Scotland and beyond, keeping its old link to the Border hills.
