Welcome!
The Wishart Society exists to support members of the Wishart Family throughout the world. Based in Edinburgh Scotland, we can help you search for your family tree, provide historical information about
famous Wisharts, supply the Wishart Tartans and Crest, and so on.
Perhaps our most famous ancestor is George Wishart, the Protestant Martyr (pictured above). He was born at Pitarrow House
in 1513, and burnt at the stake in St Andrews on March 1st, 1546. To find out more, click here
.For that unique present, consider giving a Wishart Tartan Scarf, Wishart Tartan Sash, Wishart Tartan Tie,
Wishart Crest or Wishart Tartan Wall Plaque. Payment can be by credit card or check. Details here
The background to this page shows our two Wishart Tartans, the Wishart Dress Tartan (red) and the
Wishart Hunting Tartan (green). In the left corner of each page you will find the Wishart Crest
, the emblem of which is an eagle, wings expanded. The Crest dates from medieval times, and was last recorded at the
Court of the Lord Lyon in Edinburgh, 22nd February 1769.
