About the Lambert Tartan
The Lambert name comes from the old Germanic personal name Lamberht, meaning "bright land" or "renowned in the land," carried into Britain by the Normans and their followers. Found in both Scotland and England, it is linked in the Scottish Borders to Lamberton in Berwickshire, close by the Tweed. An old family name rather than a clan with a chief, Lambert is most fittingly worn with a district tartan of its Border and Lowland home.
Whether you bear the Lambert name, descend from the Borders or Lowlands, or simply admire an old name of Norman root, this collection brings a fitting district tartan into wearable apparel, everyday accessories, home decor and meaningful heritage gifts.
Lambert District Tartan Colours
The collection draws on warm, handsome colours of gold and brown crossed with blue and green — the gold of the Border harvests and the green of the Tweed valley, a rich, dignified palette for an old name of the frontier country.
Who Is This Collection For?
The Lambert collection is a meaningful choice for the Lambert family, descendants of the Borders and Lowlands, those with Lamberton or Tweedside roots, and anyone drawn to an old name of Norman heritage.

Lambert Family Heritage
The name Lambert honours an old and popular saint of the Low Countries, and came to Britain among the Norman and Flemish families who settled after the Conquest. In the Scottish Borders it is linked to Lamberton in Berwickshire, near the mouth of the Tweed, a place of note in the wars between Scotland and England, where more than one truce and treaty was sealed.
Through the centuries the Lamberts lived as farmers, burgesses and soldiers in the Borders and Lowlands, and the name spread with Scottish and Ulster-Scots emigrants across the world. An old name of Norman root and Border soil, Lambert keeps its long link to the Tweed country and the frontier where Scotland meets England.
