Bearers of a name that resonates throughout the turbulent history of the Scottish Borders, the Taits led a precarious existence for centuries.
• Others brought honour to the name through a range of more constructive pursuits, acquiring distinction along the way.
• One noteworthy nineteenth century bearer of the name was Archibald Campbell Tait, born in Edinburgh in 1811 and who, unusually for a Scot, converted from the Presbyterian faith and was confirmed in the Church of England – later serving as Archbishop of Canterbury from 1868 until his death in 1882.
