Ruthven Clan Tartan WR1521

|
| The name Ruthven comes from the old Barony of Ruthven
in Angus. Ruthvens were Earls of Gowrie at the time of
James VI of Scotland. More recently Sir Alexander Hore-
Ruthven of Freeland, Governor General of Australia, was
created Earl of Gowrie in 1945. The Ruthven tartan was
not named until the publication of the romantic fiction
known as the Vestiarium Scoticum in 1842.
