About the MacEdward Family Tartan
MacEdward is a rare Scottish family name meaning "son of Edward," from the Gaelic Mac plus the personal name Edward. It is not a clan with a chief or a tartan of its own, so those of the name are most fittingly matched with a Perthshire district tartan or a heritage tartan of the Scottish Highlands. The Scottish Register of Tartans records a range of district and family tartans suitable for such names.
As a genuine but uncommon Highland surname, MacEdward carries a quiet distinction. This collection brings a fitting Scottish tartan into wearable apparel, everyday accessories, home decor and meaningful heritage gifts, honouring an old name of the land.
MacEdward Tartan Pattern and Colours
This collection draws on the cool slate blue and green of the Perthshire hills, crossed with black and lifted by a soft gold line — dignified, understated colours fitting for an old and rare Highland family name from the heart of Scotland.
MacEdward Heritage
The MacEdward name belongs to the old patronymic tradition of the Scottish Highlands, in which a family took its name from an ancestor called Edward — "Mac Edward," the son of Edward. Such names arose in many places and times, and MacEdward was always an uncommon one, its bearers few but proud.
In the 19th century the small number of MacEdward families in Scotland were found above all in Perthshire, in the central Highlands, and it is with that green and mountainous county that the name is most closely linked. From there the name travelled, with so many Scots, across the seas, carrying its Highland heritage into the wider world.
