About this tartan

Halkerston is a small Scottish surname derived from lands in the Mearns (Kincardineshire) once held by the royal falconer, whose office of keeping the king's hawks gave the estate - and later the family - its name. Beyond this occupational and territorial origin, little further verifiable historical detail about the family survives in accessible sources.
