Graham of Montrose Ancient
Clan Graham has two main families of Scottish clans, the Grahams of Menteith and the Grahams of Montrose, each have their own tartan design. Menteith is the name given to the western branch of the Graham family. The Grahams of Menteith are descended from Malise Graham. His father Sir Patrick Graham of Kincardine, son of Sir Patrick Graham of Montrose, married Euphemia, Countess Palatine of Strathearn granting him Earl of Strathearn. Due to a dispute with King James I, Malise was deprived of this title and instead created Earl of Menteith in 1427. The earldom of Airth, Menteith and Strathearn was held for nine generations until the death of William Graham in 1694.
