Angus District Tartan (click to enlarge)
The Angus District tartan is a symetrical tartan. It is not clear whether the Angus tartan was intended as a district or as a family tartan, and in consequence it has been used as both. The name Angus means "the one and only" possibly in reference to Angus, King of Dalriada in western Scotland in the 9th century. The name is associated with Clan Maclnnes, who also claim descent from the Dalriada Scots. The earldom of Angus was held by the Stewarts and Douglases but is now vested in the dukedom of Hamilton.
