The mighty Johnston family strides boldly through the rich tapestry of Scotland's history proudly brandishing the powerful family motto "Never unprepared!" from the times when the ancient Boernicians began to ascribe surnames. This surname was conferred to denote that the family lived in or near any of several places named "John's Town". Many of the family are believed to be from the barony of John's Town in Annadale, Dumfriesshire. Scotland's city of Perth was called "St. John's Toun" or "Saint Johnstoun" during the late medieval period.
