The Gillies Ancient Tartan is deeply rooted in the heritage of the Gillies clan, which is believed to have originated in the western Highlands of Scotland, near the Isle of Skye. The clan is thought to descend from Gille Iosa, a figure from the 12th century, whose name translates to "servant of Jesus" in Scottish Gaelic. Although the clan's exact origins remain somewhat obscure, it is associated with the larger Macpherson clan. The first recorded member, Uhtred, the son of Gillise, possessed land in Lothian during the same century. Despite its relatively modest role in Scottish history, the Gillies clan embraced its unique tartan, which has become a symbol of Scottish identity and pride. Today, the Gillies Ancient Tartan is beloved by people of Scottish descent around the globe.
