Historical Context
The Mackinnon Tartan, dating back to 1842, is steeped in rich heritage reflecting the intertwined histories of the Irish and Scottish clans. The name McKinney has origins in the Gaelic language, linked to the MacCoinnigh Sept of Counties Tyrone and Fermanagh in Ireland. Following their migration to Ulster Province in Scotland, the MacKinneys emerged as part of the Mackinnon clan, with roots tracing back to the influential O'Neill family, notable for their strength in ancient Ireland. Among their illustrious ancestors is Brian Boru, the High King of Ulster from 1014 to 1021, signifying their historical importance. The Mackinnon Tartan stands as a vibrant emblem of this legacy.
