About the Snodgrass Family Tartan
The Snodgrass name is a Scottish territorial name, taken from lands in the parish of Irvine in Ayrshire, at a bend of the River Garnock. The name is Middle English for "smooth grass" — grass without joints or nodes — and both Snodgrass and Snodgers appear in the records of Ayrshire and Glasgow between the 13th and 16th centuries.
As a family name rather than a Highland clan, Snodgrass is most fittingly matched with a Scottish district tartan. This collection brings a fitting tartan into wearable apparel, accessories, home decor and heritage gifts.
Snodgrass Tartan Pattern and Colours
This collection draws on a cool ground of green and blue crossed with black and lifted by fine lines — the greens of Ayrshire pasture and the water meadows of the Garnock, fitting for a name born of the grass itself.
Snodgrass Heritage
The lands of Snodgrass, recorded also as Snotgerss, lay in the parish of Irvine in north Ayrshire and were let out in plots to tenant families, who in the old Scottish way took their name from the ground they worked. In 1528 a royal charter listed Snotgerss among the confirmed possessions of Hugh, third Earl of Eglinton.
In the eighteenth century families of the name crossed the Atlantic: William Snodgrass reached the American colonies in 1700 and founded a town in what is now West Virginia. Later waves of emigration carried many more from Ayrshire to America, where the name is now far more numerous than in Scotland, with thousands of Snodgrass families across the continent.
