Gillies Dress Blue Ancient Tartan

Historical Significance

The Gillies Dress Blue Ancient Tartan, meaning 'servant of Jesus' in Gaelic, has its roots in the Lothian region of Scotland, where the Gillies clan emerged in the 12th century. This clan is thought to be a branch of the larger Macpherson clan. A notable figure associated with this lineage is Uhtred, son of Gillise, who held lands in the area around 1160. Over the centuries, the Gillies name has become synonymous with Scottish heritage, particularly throughout the Hebrides. The tartan symbolizes the enduring legacy of the clan, showcasing a rich history that continues to resonate today.
