I am always surprised that people do not know the meaning of the name - Newlands.The family originated with 'Nouveau-Terre' in Normandy.They came with William the Conquerere to England in 1066.Those who settled in England were named 'Newland' while those who came to Scotland were named 'Newlands'.
As for the tarten - there is a Newlands tartan.It is quite rare and you will have to do some research to find it but there are people wearing it today.
