The origin of the URL:
"Dartans" is Gaeilge (Irish) for "a place where cows or herds graze." Two generations off the boat, in the Valerie Mayton home, it came to mean a family business. They spelled it the way they heard it, then made the internet search and discovered that it is likely we have a sniglet, a family neologism.
