The
Scottish Register of Tartans lists three
tartans for families named Hyndman. Two are restricted tartans: one for the family of Captain Henry Hyndman (1785–1849), the son of an
East India Company colonel who settled in
Hong Kong; the other for the family of Daniel Hyndman in
Edinburgh and
Ontario.[2][3] The third, created for C. P. Hyndman (stated to be "the first Hyndman to record arms in the
Lyon Register since 1672"), has a design chosen to reflect his family's association with the
Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers and the town of
Paisley, and by C. P. Hyndman's wishes is available for all bearers of the surname born in
Northern Ireland.[4]
