Tartan

Moncreiffes have the choice of wearing several different tartans.

Moncreiffe tartan

~ Ancient Moncreiffe Tartan
The equal red and green check shown above, is the official Moncreiffe tartan as adopted by Sir Iain Moncreiffe in 1978. Sir Iain adopted an unused tartan from the MacLachlans
MacLachlan Old 66. Madam Marjorie MacLachlan, 24th Chief of Clan MacLachlan, assigned the rights to Sir Iain. Sir Iain registered the tartan with the Lord Lyon and the Tartan society in Scotland.

~ Moncreiffe of Atholl Tartan
The Moncreiffe of Atholl tartan is an additional tartan approved in 1998.

~ Black Watch Tartan
The Black Watch regiment recruits in the highland area of the Moncreiffe family.

~ Murray of Atholl Tartan
Moncreiffes wore the
Murray of Atholl tartan until 1972 and because of the long-term affiliation and alliance with the Murray clan, it can still be worn.

~ Mother's Tartan
It is permissible for any Scot to wear his/her mother's tartan.
