Thought some might be interested in an email I received from Scotland today. It's from the Scotish Clans Org.
Here goes:
Dear Mr Jones
Thank you for your recent e-mail regarding the above subject.
I have looked in the book "Surnames of Scotland" by George F Black and unfortunately neither the name Eagleton any derivatives is mentioned.
I contacted a colleague who is a genealogist and they informed me that the name is of English origin, e.g. Leicestershire, Cornwall, Herefordshire. There is a possible connection to Saxon or Scandinavian name. It is possible that your wife's ancestor was either a miner, farmer or shepherd who came up to Scotland from the North of England.
As the name appears to be of English origin, therefore we could find no connection to a tartan. There is however, a Scottish Tartan Museum which you might like to contact. I have delayed replying to you as I have been trying to telephone the museum in order to get their address, but unfortunately, I have had no luck so far. The telephone number however is as follows - 01542 888419.
I hope the information provided above will be of some use to you.
Please do not hesitate to contact us again should you require any further assistance.
Yours
