The Allen clan originated in the 12th century, with its early roots in the Highlands and Strathclyde region. The name "Allen" comes from the Gaelic "Aluinn," meaning "handsome" or "fair," and the clan's early members were Gaelic and Norman warriors and landowners. The Allens gained power in the Lowlands and Highlands, supporting figures like William Wallace and Robert the Bruce during the Wars of Scottish Independence. The clan played key roles in military and local governance through the 15th and 16th centuries. In the 17th century, political upheaval and the Jacobite risings led to a decline in their power. Today, the Allen clan’s legacy is celebrated by descendants and through historical research.
The Allen Tartan features a classic blend of green, blue, black, red, and white, symbolizing a harmonious balance of nature, tradition, and strength. Green and blue evoke connections to land and loyalty, while black and red add depth and courage, with white representing unity and clarity within the design.
