About the Denny Family Tartan
The Denny name has two roots. In Scotland it is chiefly territorial, from the town and parish of Denny in Stirlingshire, on the River Carron between Falkirk and the Campsies; in England it comes from the old word dene, a wooded valley, or from places of that name.
As a family name rather than a Highland clan, Denny is most fittingly matched with a family or district tartan. This collection brings a fitting Scottish tartan into wearable apparel, accessories, home decor and heritage gifts.
Denny Tartan Pattern and Colours
This collection draws on deep reds and greens with dark lines — warm, dignified colours of the central belt, from the farmland of the Carron valley to the smoke and steel of the shipyards downriver.
Denny Heritage
Denny in Stirlingshire grew where the road crossed the Carron, in country that saw the ironworks and coal pits of the central belt rise around it. From the lands the name passed to families in the usual Scottish way, and Dennys are recorded across the central counties from early times.
The name became known far beyond Scotland through the shipbuilders of Dumbarton, William Denny and Brothers, whose yard on the Leven launched hundreds of vessels from the mid nineteenth century onward and built the world's first commercial ship model testing tank. Denny-built ships sailed on every ocean, carrying the name with them.
