About the Kinninmont Tartan
The Kinninmont name — also Kinninmonth — is one of the old names of Fife, territorial in origin, from the lands of Kinninmonth in the heart of the county. The name comes from the Gaelic ceann nam monadh, "the head of the hills or moor." An old armigerous family of that Ilk, the Kinninmonts held their ground in Fife from the Middle Ages, among the ancient lairdly families of the kingdom.
Whether you bear the Kinninmont or Kinninmonth name, descend from Fife, or simply admire an old name of the kingdom, this collection brings a Kinninmont tartan into wearable apparel, everyday accessories, home decor and meaningful heritage gifts.
Kinninmont Tartan Colours
The collection draws on cool, handsome colours of green and blue crossed with black and lifted by fine lines — the green of the low hills that gave the family its name and the fertile fields of Fife, an old and dignified palette for an old and dignified name.
Who Is This Collection For?

Kinninmont Family Heritage
The Kinninmonts of that Ilk held their lands in Fife from early medieval times, and appear in the charters and records of the kingdom through the centuries. Theirs was one of the old families of the county, seated among such neighbours as the Keiths and Lindsays of the parish of Ceres and the Scots of Scotstarvit, in the green country between the Eden and the hills.
Like many old Fife families, the Kinninmonts lived quietly by their lands, serving in the affairs of their county and the kingdom, their name enduring in the parish of Kinninmonth and in the records of Fife. In later centuries the name travelled with Scottish emigrants across the seas, but it remains rooted, above all, in the old soil of Fife where it began.
