About the Ramsay Clan Tartan
The Scottish Register of Tartans records Ramsay as a Clan/Family tartan. The entry cites W & AK Johnston as designer and gives a tartan date of 1896, noting that it was taken from a plate in The Tartans of the Clans and Septs of Scotland.
Ramsay is also represented by related Clan/Family entries, including Ramsay (Angus & Mearns), dated to 1856. Together these references give Ramsay tartan a strong lowland family identity connected with Dalhousie and the east of Scotland.
Ramsay Tartan Pattern and Colours
Ramsay tartan is presented here with red and black as the dominant colours, supported by restrained green, deep blue and warm gold accents. The Register notes that two dark lines in the 1896 source may have been intended as dark red, so the design logic gives the sett a stronger red-and-black character.
Ramsay Heritage
Clan Ramsay is closely associated with Dalhousie and with the wider Angus and Mearns tradition. The Ramsay chiefship is historically connected with the Earls of Dalhousie, giving the tartan a clear family and territorial identity.
The motto Ora et Labora is commonly translated as Pray and Work. It gives Ramsay tartan a meaningful message for family pride, Scottish ancestry gifts and formal heritage clothing.
