About the Parker Family Tartan
The Parker name is an occupational one, given to the keeper of a park — the officer who guarded the enclosed deer parks and woodlands of the medieval nobility, a post of real responsibility. Chiefly of English origin but long established in Scotland too, Parker is most fittingly matched with a Scottish district tartan.
This collection brings a fitting Scottish tartan into wearable apparel, everyday accessories, home decor and meaningful heritage gifts, honouring a name born of an old and trusted calling.
Parker Tartan Pattern and Colours
This collection draws on warm gold and green crossed with dark lines — earthy colours of woodland and bracken, fitting for a name that belonged to the keepers of park and forest.
Parker Heritage
In medieval times a park was a valuable possession, an enclosed ground where deer were kept for the hunt, and the parker who kept it held a position of trust: he maintained the pale and fences, guarded the game against poachers, and answered to the lord or the crown for what lay within.
From this office came the surname, borne across Britain from the 13th century onward. Families of the name settled in Scotland as well as England, sharing in the life of burgh and countryside, and with the great migrations the Parker name spread across the world. Those of Scottish connection today honour that heritage through a district tartan.
