About the Murray Clan Tartan
The Scottish Register of Tartans records Murray as a Clan/Family tartan. The best-known Murray of Atholl sett is a handsome design of black and green with a blue overcheck, while the Murray of Tullibardine is a brighter red-based tartan; both are worn in ancient and modern shades.
Clan Murray, whose chief is the Duke of Atholl, is one of the great Highland clans, descended from the Morays of Bothwell, a Flemish and Norman line who took their name from the province of Moray. The clan motto Furth Fortune and Fill the Fetters makes Murray tartan especially meaningful for family pride and Scottish ancestry gifts.
Murray Tartan Pattern and Colours
The Murray of Atholl tartan is a dark and dignified sett of black and green with a blue overcheck, while the Murray of Tullibardine is brighter and red-based. Ancient shades appear softer, while modern shades are deeper and more formal.
Murray Heritage
The Murrays sprang from the Morays of Bothwell, established in Scotland in the 12th century by a lord of Flemish descent, who took their name from Moray in the north. The clan's early hero was Sir Andrew Moray, who rose with William Wallace against the English and led the Scots to victory at Stirling Bridge in 1297, dying of the wounds he took there.
The Murrays of Tullibardine secured the chiefship and were made Earls of Tullibardine, and by marriage to the heiress of the Stewart earldom of Atholl they became Earls, and later Dukes, of Atholl, with their seat at Blair Castle. The Duke of Atholl keeps the Atholl Highlanders, the only lawful private army in Europe. The motto Furth Fortune and Fill the Fetters recalls the capture of the last Lord of the Isles in 1475.
