About the Udny Family Tartan
The Udny name — also Udney — is a Scottish territorial name, taken from the lands of Udny in the district of Formartine in Aberdeenshire, north of Aberdeen. The family are recorded as the Udnys of that Ilk, holding their ground among the lairds of the north-east for centuries.
As a family name rather than a Highland clan, Udny is most fittingly matched with a family or Aberdeenshire district tartan. This collection brings a fitting Scottish tartan into wearable apparel, accessories, home decor and heritage gifts.
Udny Tartan Pattern and Colours
This collection draws on warm gold and green crossed with dark lines — earthy, dignified colours of the Formartine country, its good farmland and the grey granite of the north-east.
Udny Heritage
The lands of Udny lie in Formartine, the country between the Ythan and the Don, and gave their name to the family who held them from medieval times. Their seat, Udny Castle, is a fine tower house standing above the village green at Udny Green, and was held by the family for many generations.
The Udnys took their part in the affairs of Aberdeenshire, in the burgh of Aberdeen and in the wars and troubles of the north-east. The estate is also remembered for Jamie Fleeman, the laird's fool of the eighteenth century, whose sharp sayings became famous throughout the north-east and are still quoted there. From Aberdeenshire the Udny name spread across Scotland and beyond.
