Tartans Linked to Albany
Albany Tartan
As soon as we settled on Albany as our new US home, we knew we had to design a tartan to represent the Scottish Community within Albany County. The Tartan will be used to celebrate the opening of our new US Store in the town of Colonie as well as highlighting the strong Scottish heritage found throughout all of Albany County. The colours for the Albany tartan are taken from the Albany County Seal, The Town of Colonie Seal & The City of Albany Flag. The sett was inspired by that of the Stewart Clan tartans in honour of the Duke of Albany, James Stuart who was a member of the House of Stuart a branch of Clan Stewart. An additional white stripe not found within the Stewart Clan tartans was added to create a saltire (Saint Andrew's Cross) within the design, to represent Scotland’s Patron Saint, St Andrew.
More about Albany & The Capital District
Why Albany?
America is huge place, and we are but a wee Scottish company so where should we plant our flag? Derived from the Gaelic "Alba" meaning Scotland, and named after the Duke of York's Scottish title, "Duke of Albany" in 1664, there are of course lots of other reasons that came into play. Find out more on the blog.
Why Loudon Road?
You may have noticed that our new store is actually located in Loudonville, a suburb just outside of Albany. While this name might not sound quite as Scottish as Albany, don’t be so quick to imagine that we’ve not found a connection. To discover how it all started, let us first introduce you to John Campbell, 4th Earl of Loudoun.
Who was the Duke of Albany?
The Dukedom of Albany peerage title was bestowed on some younger sons in the Scottish and later the British royal family, particularly in the House of Stuart. Join Emily as she uncovers the story of Albany's namesake, the Duke of Albany.
St Andrew's Society of Albany
The St. Andrews Society of Albany was founded in 1803 with the purpose of providing assistance to waves of Scottish immigrants arriving in Albany.
The City of Albany Pipe Band
Hear the story of our local pipe band as we speak to Matthew Wilson, Pipe Major at the City of Albany Pipe Band.
Genealogical Society
In 1981, The Capital District Genealogical Society was organised and today serves nine counties in New York, in addition to Albany.
