Baird Modern Tartan
From the Highlands of Scotland
About The Baird Modern Tartan
This tartan is first recorded in Johnston's work of 1906, and the sample from the Highland Society of London probably dates from the same period. In both these early references the triple stripes are rendered in red. Today, however, they are generally woven in purple.
The Bairds owned estates in Aberdeenshire which were later purchased by the Gordons. Sample in Scottish Tartans Authority's Johnston Collection. The sample in the Highland Society (London) collection has the triple stripes in red (see 273) but now they are conventionally in purple.
Historically this tartan is 'Baird' but it's called Baird Hunting on the Baird website.
