About the Conquergood Tartan
Conquergood is one of the rarest of all Scottish surnames — an old name of Edinburgh and the Lowlands whose striking form has puzzled scholars, described in the great surname dictionaries simply as "a name not easily explained." An old burgh family rather than a Highland clan, the Conquergoods are most fittingly worn with the Edinburgh District tartan of the city where the name took root.
This collection celebrates the Conquergood name and its Edinburgh heritage, bringing a fitting district tartan into apparel, accessories, home decor and heritage gifts for those who carry one of the rarest and most distinctive names in all of Scotland.
Conquergood & Edinburgh District Colours

Conquergood Family Heritage
The name appears in Scottish record from the 16th century: Sir James Conquergud, a cleric, was a witness in 1549. In the 17th century the family is found among the craftsmen and burgesses of Edinburgh — William Conquergood, a cordiner or shoemaker, is recorded in the city in 1665, Agnes Conquergood in 1672, and Patrick Conquergood in 1683 — a settled family of the capital's working life.
Always a rare name, Conquergood remained closely tied to Edinburgh through the centuries, with Frank Conquergood recorded there as late as 1940. Like many Scottish families, the Conquergoods carried their unusual name overseas, and today it is found most often in Canada, borne with pride by descendants who treasure its rarity and its old roots in Scotland's capital.
