Names Families and Tartans. Many Scottish names come from Gaelic and most of our ancestors did not write the language so many differing names in fact can originate from the same source. In the past surnames were not used but important land owners used the name of their estate (e.g Locheil). The first time many names were written was by a passing ships captain or a minister who wrote down the name as it sounded to him. Current English usage accepts MacDonald, McDonald, Macdonald or even in our case Donaldson so please don't be concerned if your name is not exactly as spelt in the tartan lists, this does not mean that you come from a different clan than those with a similar spelling or sound.
Tartan History. There's also a brief History of Clan Tartan.
Tartans / Plaid not listed. There are many thousands of tartans available from Mills across Scotland far to many for us to list, so please don't hesitate to contact me if you can't see what you are looking for. It is also worth noting that special weaves can be commissioned for a minimum run of 4 metres. I hope you find exactly what you are looking for on my web site but if you can't see it please e.mail me and I will do my very best to source it for you .
