About the Lowry Tartan
The Lowry name — also Lowrie and Lawrie — comes from Laurence, an old and beloved Christian name, of which these are the familiar Scots forms. Sharing this root with Clan MacLaren of Balquhidder, those of the Lowry name are reckoned kin to that clan and may wear its tartan. Long found in the Scottish Lowlands, the name became especially common in Ulster, among the Scots-Irish families of the north of Ireland.
Whether you bear the Lowry, Lowrie or Lawrie name, descend from Scotland or Ulster, or simply admire an old name of Laurence, this collection brings a fitting tartan into wearable apparel, everyday accessories, home decor and meaningful heritage gifts.
Lowry Tartan Colours
Worn with the MacLaren tartan, the collection draws on rich colours of green and red crossed with fine lines of gold and white — the bold, handsome sett of the MacLarens of Balquhidder, fitting for a family that shares their name and their root.

Lowry Family Heritage
As a form of Laurence, the Lowry name arose wherever that popular Christian name was borne, and in Scotland it became linked to Clan MacLaren, whose own name means "son of Laurence." Lowries and Lawries are found in the Lowland records from early times, in the south-west and the central belt, sharing in the story of the wider Laurence kindred.
In the 17th century many Lowland Scots settled in Ulster, and there the Lowry name flourished, becoming one of the well-known names of the north of Ireland — among them the Lowrys of Pomeroy in Tyrone, from whom sprang the Earls Belmore. From Scotland and Ulster alike, the Lowry name travelled to America and beyond, carried by the great Scots-Irish migration, keeping its old link to the name of Laurence.
