Maxwell Ancient Tartan Kilt
Clan Maxwell is a prominent Lowland Scottish clan, officially recognized by the Lord Lyon King of Arms, though currently without a chief and therefore classified as an armigerous clan. The name Maxwell is believed to originate from "Maccus Well", a pool on the River Tweed near Kelso. Maccus, likely a Norse chief, lived during the time of King David I of Scotland.
In the Wars of Scottish Independence, Sir Herbert Maxwell swore fealty to Edward I, but his son later fought for Robert the Bruce at Bannockburn. By the 15th century, the Maxwells rose in power, with Sir Herbert Maxwell becoming Lord Maxwell. Branches like the Maxwells of Monreith became influential, some gaining baronetcies.
The Maxwells played major roles in Scottish history, including involvement in the Battle of Flodden (1513), the Reformation, and feuds with Clan Johnstone, notably at the Battle of Dryfe Sands. In the 17th century, Lord Maxwell was executed for killing Sir James Johnstone. The Earls of Nithsdale, a Maxwell line, supported the Jacobite rising of 1715, and famously escaped execution thanks to Winifred Maxwell.
Notable Maxwell castles include Caerlaverock Castle (chief’s seat), Threave Castle, Newark Castle, Buittle Castle, and Pollok House, now home to the Burrell Collection. The Maxwell Tartan, available in modern dyes, symbolizes their strong Lowland identity.
The Maxwell Ancient Tartan Kilt showcases the rich heritage of Clan Maxwell, one of Scotland’s historic Lowland families. Featuring soft, earthy tones of green, blue, and muted red, the ancient tartan reflects natural plant-based dyes once used in traditional Highland attire. Its classic design pays tribute to the clan’s deep roots and noble legacy.
