Penman Tartan

Historical Context

The Penman Tartan proudly reflects the heritage and legacy of the Penman family, a name with ancient Scottish roots. Historically, the Penman family held a notable presence in the Scottish Lowlands, where their reputation for strength, resilience, and dedication became well recognized. Although the Penmans are not officially tied to a traditional clan, their surname—derived from the word meaning “writer” or “scribe”—highlights their intellectual and cultural influence in Scottish society. The Penman family crest, depicting a hand holding a quill, symbolizes their enduring connection to knowledge, wisdom, and the written word. Their inspiring family motto, “Ex Fide Fortis” (Strong Through Faith), continues to represent the honor, perseverance, and moral strength that define their lineage.
