About this tartan

Clan Swinton is a Scottish Borders family of reputed Anglo-Saxon origin, tracing descent to Eadulf Ros, said to have received the barony of Swinton in Berwickshire from King Malcolm III around 1060. The family claims to be one of the few in Britain able to trace an unbroken male line from before the Norman Conquest, though the claim is disputed. The Swintons held the baronies of Swinton and Cranshaws in Berwickshire for centuries
