About the Newton Family Tartan
The Newton name is a territorial one, taken from the many places called Newton — from the Old English words for "new settlement" — found across Scotland from Fife and Perthshire to Aberdeenshire and the Borders. Families holding such lands took the name in the old Scottish way, as the Newtons of that Ilk. As a family name rather than a Highland clan, Newton is most fittingly matched with a family or district tartan.
This collection brings a fitting Scottish tartan into wearable apparel, everyday accessories, home decor and meaningful heritage gifts, honouring an old name of the Scottish countryside.
Newton Tartan Pattern and Colours
This collection draws on warm gold and green crossed with dark lines — earthy, dignified colours of the farmed Scottish countryside, fitting for a name born of new-broken land and new-built townships.
Newton Heritage
Wherever a new township was raised beside an older one, the place became a Newton, and in time gave its name to the family who held it. Because such places were so numerous, the name arose independently in many parts of Scotland; there is a Newton in Fife, in the parish of Forgan, a Newton by Blairgowrie in Perthshire with its fine 16th-century castle, and a Newton in Aberdeenshire whose ancient carved stone still stands.
Newton families are recorded in the burgh and charter records of medieval Scotland from early times, holding land and serving in the affairs of their districts. From Scotland the name spread across the world, and those who bear it today honour their roots through a fitting Scottish tartan.
