About the Hutton Family Tartan
The Hutton name is a Scottish and northern English territorial name, taken from places called Hutton — from the old words for a settlement on a spur or ridge of high ground. There are several: a parish in Berwickshire near Berwick, and Hutton and Corrie in Dumfriesshire among them.
As a family name rather than a Highland clan, Hutton is most fittingly matched with a family or Borders district tartan. This collection brings a fitting Scottish tartan into wearable apparel, accessories, home decor and heritage gifts.
Hutton Tartan Pattern and Colours
This collection draws on greys and slate tones with a warm accent — the grey of Border stone and sea cliff, lifted by the gold of gorse; a fitting palette for a name bound up with the reading of rock.
Hutton Heritage
Huttons are recorded in the Borders and the Lothians from medieval times, taking their name from the lands they held. The Berwickshire parish of Hutton lies close to the Tweed near its mouth, in country long contested between the kingdoms, and the name is found on both sides of the Border.
The most celebrated bearer was James Hutton of Edinburgh, born in 1726, a farmer and physician who studied the rocks of Scotland and set out the idea that the earth had been shaped over immense stretches of time by processes still at work. At Siccar Point on the Berwickshire coast he found the unconformity that proved his case, and he is remembered as the founder of modern geology.
