According to the 1891 UK census, the Tweeds were a widespread family, 90% in England (London, Essex, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, Yorkshire), and 10% in Scotland. The Scottish branch of the Tweeds lived mainly around Lanarkshire. They or their possible relatives the Tweedies married daughters of the Douglas and the Stewarts at least twice during the 1200s and 1300s. The Douglas are a Gaelic family, the Stewarts (and, I have reason to believe, the Tweeds) are of Breton origin. At ancestry.com.uk and ancestry.com.au there are numerous genealogies of the Tweeds that may be of considerable interest.
