Historical Significance

The Ailsa Gold Tartan is steeped in rich heritage, linked to the Marquess of Ailsa, an official title of the Peerage of the United Kingdom. Established on November 12, 1806, the title derives its name from Ailsa Craig, an iconic island in the Firth of Clyde. The Marquess is the clan chief of the hereditary Clan Kennedy, with the family's historic estates at Cassillis House and Culzean Castle, located near Maybole, Ayrshire. Notably, James Kennedy, Archbishop of St Andrews, was a prominent figure as the younger brother of the former Lord Kennedy. This tartan is crafted with contemporary trends in mind, reflecting both tradition and modernity.
