The surname Stewart is the same as Steward, indicating the official in charge of the household and treasury, whether of the king or of some court-holding earl or bishop. The Stewart family records its traditional descent from Banquo, Thane (King) of Lochaber, who makes an appearance as a character in William Shakespeare's Macbeth. Historically, however, the Stewarts, who would eventually become monarchs of the Scots, descended from a family who were seneschals (medieval stewards) of Dol in Brittany.

Highland Clan Flags are intended for indoor or outdoor use. The flags are made from 70 denier high tenacity nylon, chosen for durability and ability to meet our exacting color standards. A rigourous process ensures colours are locked in for long use, and all edges are double stitched for added strength.

Our clan flags are packaged in robust, clear plastic sleeves that both display and protect the contents - perfect for gifts!

Each package includes a fine printed scroll offering an outline of your Clan's history.
