About this tartan

Wilson, a patronymic form of Will, is first recorded in Scotland as Wulson in 1405 and is now the third most common surname there. It has no clan chief recognised by the Lord Lyon. Wilsons of Caithness and Sutherland are traditionally ranked as a sept of Clan Gunn, said to descend from William, a son of George Gunn, the fifteenth-century 'Crowner' of Caithness; the East Coast Wilsons of Banffshire, by contrast, are traditionally counted with Clan Innes, through the Innes of Aberchirder family
