Tartan Searches - Direct Matches
If you search our tartan finder for a name, the first results to be displayed will be any direct matches for that name in our database.
This could be a match for the main Family Name. e.g. when you search for “brown” the first tartans returned with have names like “Brown Family” or “Brown Heather” or “Brown Colour”.
But your name may also be listed as a Sett Name such as “Campbell Brown” or “Bannockbane Brown”. These may be just as relevant, even though these are listed afterwards.
