Clan Baird Tartan
The Baird tartan is associated with the Baird clan or family, and it is first recorded in Johnston’s work of 1906, with a sample from the Highland Society of London likely dating from the same period. In its early references, the tartan featured triple stripes in red. However, it was noted that in contemporary times, these stripes are generally woven in purple. The name “Baird” has its origins in the word ‘bard,’ which means poet. Historically, the Baird family owned estates in Aberdeenshire, which were later purchased by the Gordons. While the provided information offers historical context and mentions the change in stripe colors, it does not provide a detailed description of the Baird tartan’s specific pattern and colors, which may be available through tartan registries or clan societies.
