Angus District Tartan WR1179
|
|
| It is not clear whether Angus tartan was intended as a
District or a Family tartan and as a consequence it has
been used as both. It is now firmly established as a tartan
for all those people having a connection with the area.
The name means 'The Only One', possibly referring to
the Angus King of Dalriada in western Scotland in the
ninth century. The name is associated with Clan
MacInnes, who also claim descent from the Dalriada Scots.
The Earldom of Angus was held by the Stewarts and
Douglases.
