In Lithuanian last name dictionary ("Lietuvių pavardžių žodynas") is "Miklitonas", "Miklitonis", but it is of Lithuanian descent, most probably according to the dictionary.
Maybe you should get a genetic test for interpretation of your origin, at first.
Lithuanian last names as tradition is given to all people only from the 18th century. Prior to that, it is not a constant thing, and only nobles had last names. Last names in Lithuania emerged from the 15th century.
So, if your ancestors Scots emigrated to Lithuania before the 18th century, the Scottish last name most probably did not survive.

Thank you for your answer, Varaleiva.
This surname cannot be an anglicized Lithuanian surname because I am not from an anglophone country. My surname was already written "Mitleton/Mitletonas" in Lithuania, that's why I am curious.
Regarding the Miklitonas surname, is it common in Lithuania?

No "Mitletonas" in " Lietuvių pavardžių žodynas" and I never heard of such a "Mitletonas". But I'm from a different region of Lithuania (not from "Kėdainiai").
"Miklitonas" in Lithuania is rare. I heard it for the first time here. But Google finds such.

Polish language was the language of the ruling caste (Szlachta).
Vatican intrigue resulted Lithuanian language was eliminated from the Lithuanian nobility environment.
Within a few centuries Lithuanian language areas decreased significantly. One of the most numerous of the first millennium nations (known as barbarians), Lithuanians has become one of the smallest.

"Pagans" is a swear word. Christians used to call him those of different faith.
The ancient Lithuanians were fire worshipers. The fire was perceived as light and progress carrier.
The ancient Lithuanians worshiped their great ancestors, including the Apollo, Hercules and Prometheus.
And so, the ancient Lithuanians knew the only god "Dievas" the creator of the universe.
Christian propaganda is severely perverted world of our ancestors...
Lithuanian language is not hard.
Websites do not know.
