Order Now! Burnett Ancient Tartan

Clan Burnett is an armigerous clan which means that the clan, family or name is registered with the Court of the Lord Lyon, but does not currently have a chief recognised by the Lyon Court. It is much debated whether the name Burnett evolved from Burnard or Bernard or whether it was an individual surname in its own right. If you have been lucky enough to attend one of the Burnett Gatherings over the years you may well have visited Kemnay House. Characterised by beautiful twisting turretts this fine example of Scottish architecture is full of historical information and artefacts gathered by the Burnett’s and private tours can be arranged. The estate itself is testament to a tree loving Burnett, George, who planted quite a collection in the 18th century. The Burnett family is an illustrious Scottish family, with history going back to before the Norman Conquest, an ancient coat-of-arms and a record of many distinguished members in the church, in letters, in the law and in the military. The Coat of Arms of the Burnetts of Leys contains a Hunting Horn and three Holly Leaves.
