About the Walters Family Tartan
The Walters name is a patronymic, "son of Walter" — a name of Germanic root, meaning "ruler of the army," brought to Britain by the Normans and borne in Scotland by Walter FitzAlan, the first High Steward, ancestor of the royal Stewarts. The Walters are recognised among the names of Clan Buchanan, and those of the name are most fittingly matched with the Buchanan tartan.
This collection brings the Buchanan tartan into wearable apparel, everyday accessories, home decor and meaningful heritage gifts, honouring an old name of Lowland and western Scotland.
Walters Tartan Pattern and Colours
Worn with the Buchanan tartan, this collection draws on a bright ground of green and yellow crossed with red and black — among the most cheerful and distinctive of all Scottish setts, fitting for a name counted among the Buchanan kin.
Walters Heritage
The name Walter came into Scotland with the Anglo-Norman families of the 12th century, and none bore it more famously than Walter FitzAlan, first High Steward of Scotland, whose descendants took the name Stewart and in time the crown itself. From the personal name came a family of surnames — Walters, Walterson, Watson and Watt among them — borne across the Lowlands and the west.
In the clan tradition the Walters are counted among the names of Clan Buchanan, whose lands lay on the eastern shore of Loch Lomond, and whose chiefs traced descent from an Ulster kindred settled in Scotland in the 13th century. The Buchanan motto, Clarior Hinc Honos, "brighter hence the honour," and the crest of a hand holding a crown, belong to all who share the clan's name and heritage.
