Livingston Tartan


Livingston

Livingston Modern Tartan
Legend says that a Saxon called Leving gave his name to the lands in West Lothian and they became Livingston. The people of the area took this as their family name.
Four generations on Sir William Livingston of Livingston fought beside King David II at the Battle of Durham in the 1346 attack into England. When both he and the King were captured he helped negotiate his King's release and for this was granted the barony of Callendar in 1347.
