Answer 1

I was always led to believe that my family surname - Carson was associated with the Skene tartan. However, in recent reference books on the various tartans, both the tartan and surname have disappeared from the records.

Can you help, please ??

One of the sites I found that helps with this sort of question is ScotClans. Using their data, it appears that Carson doesn't show any connections to the clan system, although the Acarson name does. Have you managed to document your family within Scotland? You can always avail yourself of the district tartan from the area in which they lived, or the ever-popular Flower of Scotland tartan.

I looked in a number of tartan and surname resources. There doesn't appear to be a clan affiliation and the name is likely derived from a place. There is a different name "Cariston" which is associated with Skene.

Answer 2

Hello. I checked and within the families, Livingston is missing. I Looked up in the Sccotish Tartan Registry and it does exist in their database. Can you add it?
