About the Wood Clan Tartan
The Scottish Register of Tartans records Wood as a Clan/Family tartan. The Wood sett is a handsome design of blue and green crossed with black and lifted by fine lines, a cool and dignified pattern fitting for a family whose crest is a ship under sail, worn in both ancient and modern shades.
Clan Wood is a Lowland Scottish clan, long seated at Largo in Fife, with older branches in Angus, Kincardineshire and the north-east. The clan motto Tutus in Undis, "safe amid the waves," recalls the family's great naval heritage, making Wood tartan especially meaningful for family pride and Scottish ancestry gifts.
Wood Tartan Pattern and Colours
Wood tartan is recognised for its blue and green ground crossed with black and lifted by fine lines — cool, dignified colours of the Fife coast and the Firth of Forth. Ancient shades appear softer, while modern shades are deeper and more formal.
Wood Heritage
The clan's great figure is Admiral Sir Andrew Wood of Largo, sometimes called the Scottish Nelson. Beginning as a merchant in Leith, he was employed by James III to guard Scottish trade with Holland, defended Dumbarton against an English fleet in 1481, and won a series of famous sea battles against English squadrons in the 1480s. For his victories he was made a free Baron and granted the lands of Largo in Fife, where the ruins of his tower still stand.
Sir Andrew rose to be Lord High Admiral of Scotland, and it is said he had a canal cut so that he might be rowed to church in his barge as befitted a sea captain. His descendants sat in the Scottish Parliament, supported the Reformation, and served the Stewart kings, one of them beggaring the family by paying the royal household's bills from his own purse. The chief is Wood of Largo; the crest is a ship, the motto Tutus in Undis.
