Lady Saltoun

‘You will wear the tartan!’: Long-serving peer who became ‘mother of the clan’
Lady Saltoun of Abernethy, who has died aged 93, was one of only two female holders of a lordship to retain a seat in the House of Lords as an hereditary peer. Her contribution to Scottish clan history was considerable. She led her clan with a joyous enthusiasm, created and maintained an excellent clan website and even tried her hand at tartan design – traditional in style avoiding clashing or gimmicky colours.
