About the Moore Family Tartan
The Moore name — also Muir, Mure and More — is, in its Scottish line, a form of the old name Muir, from the Scots word for a moor or heath, or from the Gaelic mór, "great." The chief family of the name were the Mures of Rowallan in Ayrshire. As a family name rather than a Highland clan, Moore is most fittingly matched with the Muir and Moore tartan.
There is also a separate Irish Moore, from the Gaelic Ó Mórdha, "the stately and noble." This collection brings the Muir and Moore tartan into wearable apparel, everyday accessories, home decor and meaningful heritage gifts for the Moore family.
Moore Tartan Pattern and Colours
The Muir and Moore tartan is recognised for its blue and green ground crossed with black and lifted by narrow lines of red — a cool and distinctive sett. Ancient shades appear softer, while modern shades are deeper and more formal.
Moore Heritage
The Mures, or Moores, of Rowallan were an old Ayrshire family, their castle standing near Kilmarnock. Sir Gilchrist Mure won renown at the Battle of Largs in 1263, when the Scots turned back the Norsemen, and secured the family seat of Rowallan. The name is found across Scotland in its many forms — Muir, Mure, More and Moore — from the south-west to Orkney.
The Mures rose to royal connection when Elizabeth Mure of Rowallan married Robert Stewart, who became King Robert II, so that the royal house of Stewart itself sprang in part from the family. Sir William Mure of Rowallan was a noted poet and Covenanter of the 17th century. From Scotland the Moore and Muir name spread across the world, carried by countless families proud of their roots.
