About the Dick Family Tartan
The Dick name is a patronymic, from Dick — the familiar form of Richard — and is found across Britain, but is especially common in Scotland, above all in West Lothian and the eastern Lowlands. From Scotland it was carried to the north of Ireland in the seventeenth century.
The name belongs to the same family of surnames as Dickson, Dixon and Dickie, and through Dickson it is reckoned with Clan Keith, and counted also among the allied families of Clan Douglas. Those of the name may wear a family or district tartan, or the tartan of the clan their own line followed.
Dick Tartan Pattern and Colours
This collection draws on deep blues and greens with darker lines — cool, dignified colours of the Lothian country and the eastern Border hills where the name has long been at home.
Dick Heritage
Because Richard was among the commonest names in medieval Britain, its short form Dick gave rise to a whole family of surnames. In Scotland, Thomas Dickson, whose name meant simply Dick's son, was a follower of the Douglases in the Wars of Independence, and from that line the Dicksons are counted a sept of Clan Keith and an allied family of Clan Douglas.
The name Dick itself is recorded across the Lowlands from early times, and the Dicks of Prestonfield near Edinburgh were merchants and civic figures of the capital, raised to a baronetcy in the seventeenth century; Prestonfield House still stands beneath Arthur's Seat. From Scotland and Ulster the name spread with emigration to America, Canada and Australasia.
