About this tartan

Conway is not a single unified Scottish clan but a surname with several independent origins: Irish Gaelic septs (Mac Connmhaigh / Ó Conbhuidhe) associated with Ireland, a Welsh form taken from Conwy, an English place-name probably meaning 'crooked river,' and a distinct Scottish record of 'Coneway' (1215) from a hamlet near Beauly, Inverness-shire, possibly an anglicization of the Gaelic 'coinmheadh' ('free quarter,' referring to billeted troops).
