About The Ruthven Ancient Tartan

Clan Ruthven is a historic Scottish clan with roots in Perthshire and the surrounding areas. The clan name is derived from the lands of Ruthven, meaning "red river," reflecting their territorial origins.

The Ruthvens were prominent during the late medieval and early modern periods, involved in significant political and military events in Scotland. The clan is famously linked to the Ruthven Raid of 1582, a political conspiracy where members sought to control the young King James VI.

Despite such turbulent history, the clan remained influential, with notable families holding lands and titles throughout Scotland.
