About this tartan

Preston is a Scottish Lowland family whose name means "priest's town." The documented line traces to Leolphus de Preston in the reign of William the Lion, and his grandson Sir William de Preston was among the Scottish nobles summoned to Berwick in 1291 during the contest for the crown. In 1374 Sir Simon de Preston bought Craigmillar Castle, about three miles from Edinburgh, which the family held for nearly 300 years as their principal seat; in 1544 a branch acquired the barony of Valleyfield, then counted in Perthshire. Sir Simon Preston of Craigmillar was Provost of Edinburgh in 1567, Sir Richard Preston was created Lord Dingwall in 1607, and George Preston of Valleyfield was made a baronet of Nova Scotia in 1637
