- 01/01/2005 — Raeside (register-of-tartans, record)
Notes submitted April 2005 by Archie Raeside - the originator of this tartan. 'This Raeside tartan symbolises the joining of the Douglas Clan to the Raeside Family. Charlotte Douglas was born in 1891. She married William Raeside on the 31st of December 1909 and lived in Maryhill, Glasgow. Charlotte Douglas-Raeside, took her family to live in Dublin in 1929. Her son, Archibald Douglas-Raeside (my Grandfather) married Francis Byrne on the 7th of September 1935, in Dublin. The 'Douglas' part of the surname was then omitted and the Irish branch of the Raeside family now continues to grow and prosper in Ireland. The light green guard lines represent the blood line between the Scottish Douglas Clan and the Raeside's in Ireland.' Can be worn by all of the name. Initial weave organised through Niall Livingstone. Woven sample. - 2005 — Raeside (Name) (tartans-authority, record)
