Walker tartan?

[RandallWalker]

I have done tons of research on the 'walker' history and when it comes to tartans i find a new one everytime i look, is it because they were never made until 1900's?, and i also read new and different stories about my history, anything will help what does it look like and i already have the idea not one is right.

Here are the results for 'Walker' on the Scottish Tartans Authority website:

It looks like the Walkers are a sept of MacGregor and maybe the Stewarts of Appin. It ALSO looks like someone registered a few Walker tartans in 1993 and someone else registered one in 2003.

Please note that just because these tartans EXIST in the STA Database does not mean that they're all readily available as 'stock tartans' from any mill. Most of the MacGregor ones and the Stewart Appin tartans are readily available, but none of the major mills stock the Walker tartans. They CAN be specially woven, but the price will go up.

Hope this info helps!

Electric Scotland says no Walker clan chief and no official Walker clan tartan

Randall, my mother is a Walker and I had, at one time, thought about the Walker tartans you found. As I did more research, I decided that the Stewart of Appin tartan would be more in line. As Ron says above, there is no official clan tartan for the Walkers.

Just my $0.02

Hi Randall. I am also a Walker. My ancestor was Rev. George Walker who was killed at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690. I would be happy to share any info I have with you though I suspect you are from a different Walker Line. Regards John Walker
