About the Spalding Clan Tartan
The Scottish Register of Tartans records Spalding as a Clan/Family tartan. The Spalding sett is a warm design of gold and green crossed with dark lines, a handsome pattern of the eastern glens, worn in both ancient and modern shades.
The Spalding name came to Scotland from England, and the family established themselves in Angus and in Perthshire, where Ashintully Castle in Glenshee was their long seat. This makes Spalding tartan especially meaningful for family pride, Perthshire heritage and Scottish ancestry gifts.
Spalding Tartan Pattern and Colours
Spalding tartan is recognised for its warm gold and green character crossed with dark lines — earthy, dignified colours of the Angus and Perthshire glens. Ancient shades appear softer, while modern shades are deeper and more formal.
Spalding Heritage
The name comes from Spalding in the fenland of eastern England, and the family had crossed into Scotland by the thirteenth century. Their great moment came in 1318, when Peter Spalding, a burgess of Berwick, opened the way for Robert the Bruce's forces to take that much-contested town; for this service he was rewarded with lands in Angus, and the family were established in the east of Scotland.
From Angus the Spaldings moved north-west into Perthshire, where they held Ashintully in Glenshee from the fifteenth century, building the castle that still stands there. They were neighbours of the MacThomases of Glenshee and lived the life of Highland-edge lairds, in a glen where Lowland and Highland ways met. The name spread widely across Scotland and beyond.
