About the Ochterlony Family Tartan
The Ochterlony name — also Auchterlonie and Auchterlony — is a Scottish territorial name, taken from the lands of Ochterlony in the parish of Rescobie in Angus. From these lands the family took their name in the old Scottish way, as the Ochterlonys of that Ilk. As a family name rather than a Highland clan, Ochterlony is most fittingly matched with a family or Angus 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 Angus country.
Ochterlony Tartan Pattern and Colours
This collection draws on warm gold and green crossed with dark lines — dignified, earthy colours of the Angus country, between the Grampian braes and the fertile vale of Strathmore.
Ochterlony Heritage
The lands of Ochterlony lie in Angus, in the old shire of Forfar, and the family of that name is recorded there from medieval times, holding their ground among the lairds of the county. Branches of the family later held Guynd, Kelly and other Angus estates, and their name appears in the records of the burghs and sheriffdom through the centuries.
The most celebrated of the name was Sir David Ochterlony, born in 1758 to a family of Scottish descent settled in Boston, who rose to be a Major General and one of the most distinguished soldiers of his generation in India; a great column raised in Calcutta in his honour still stands. From Angus the Ochterlony name spread across Scotland and to the wider world.
