Greer Irish Heritage Woven Blanket | Family Crest Tartan Throw

The Greer name in Ireland is a surname of Scottish origin, carried to Ulster by families who came during the plantation era and subsequent migrations from Scotland, their name a variant of the Scottish Mac Gregor — son of Gregory — anglicised and shortened in the Ulster context to Greer. The Greer families settled principally in Counties Antrim and Down, the heartland of the Ulster-Scots community, and became part of the distinctive Presbyterian and farming culture of the north. This Irish woven blanket features the Greer family crest against the Irish National Tartan, for those who carry this name as part of their Ulster Irish heritage.

History & Heritage

The Greer name in Ulster belongs to the same Scottish-origin community that produced many of the most distinctive surnames of the north of Ireland — families from Ayrshire, Galloway, and the Scottish Lowlands who crossed the narrow water between Scotland and Ulster to settle in the plantation counties. The Greers of Antrim and Down were part of the Ulster-Scots Presbyterian community, farming the rich agricultural land of the north and contributing to the commercial and civic life of the province. The name is found today across Ulster and in the Ulster diaspora in North America and elsewhere.

Construction

This blanket is woven from premium cotton yarn — the Greer family crest and the Irish National Tartan integrated into the textile structure during weaving, not applied to the surface. The design is part of the cloth itself: consistent woven depth on both sides, a soft and substantial feel, and traditional fringed edges completing the piece in the appropriate manner.
