<h2>Clan Blair Tartan Kilt</h2>
<p>Blair Castle in Dalry has stood for eight centuries, and the family that built it stood right alongside Robert the Bruce when it mattered most. This tartan carries that Ayrshire history in a deep, layered plaid.</p>
<h3>The Tartan Itself</h3>
<p>This sett runs in forest green and navy blue with bold black windowpane lines and a fine red guideline threaded through. It’s a rich, grounded colourway — the kind of tartan that reads as serious without being severe, equally at home at a formal event or a family gathering.</p>
<h3>A Family from the Barony of Blair</h3>
<p>The Blair surname was first recorded in the early 1200s, with the name coming from the Gaelic “blar,” meaning field or plain. Two main branches took the name: Blair of that Ilk in Ayrshire and Blair of Balthayock in Perthshire. The Ayrshire Blairs were granted the Barony of Blair by King William I of Scots, and Blair Castle in Dalry served as their seat for roughly 800 years — one of the oldest continuously inhabited baronial mansions in Scotland.</p>
<p>Roger de Blair fought alongside Robert the Bruce at Bannockburn in 1314 and was rewarded with royal favour for it. The clan motto, “Amo Probos” — Love the Virtuous — still stands as the family’s guiding word, with a stag as its crest.</p>
<h3>Built for Actual Wear</h3>
<p>Cut from a quality wool blend and hand-pleated so the sett stays aligned through every pleat, this kilt is finished with a fringed apron edge and adjustable leather straps and buckles at the waist.</p>
<h3>Sizing and Customisation</h3>
<p>Available in a full range of waist and length sizes, with made-to-measure options if you’d rather send in your own numbers. Every kilt is cut and finished to order, so check our sizing guide before you check out.</p>
<p>For the Blair name and its eight centuries at Dalry, this kilt is a fitting way to carry that history forward.
