Day of the Tartan and Family History from Scotland


My great grandmother, Lucy Walker Hendry, seated on the right of her sister, Hazel, immigrated as a child to the United States from Scotland.  You can read more about her life here.

Today is celebrated as Tartan Day in Scotland so I did a bit of looking about for the Tartans of my ancestors.


This is the Hendry Family Crest.  I was unable to find a Tartan pattern for this name.


Her mother was a MacGregor and I found both Family Crest and Tartans.


In fact, I found four Tartans.  Those MacGregors have quite the story and history.  You can read more about it at here.
