MacAn Hose Tartan

Historical Context

The MacAn Hose Tartan holds a unique place in the history of the MacAn clan, a Highland family known for their unwavering loyalty and fierce sense of pride. With the clan motto "Dulce periculum" (Danger is sweet) and their crest depicting a hand holding a dagger, the MacAn Hose tartan reflects the clan’s readiness to protect their land and family. The MacAn clan played a crucial role in the preservation of Gaelic culture and traditions in the Western Highlands, with members of the clan actively defending their home through several historical conflicts.

Tartan Description

The MacAn Hose Tartan features a bold pattern with deep reds and dark greens, contrasted by fine black lines. The red symbolizes the bloodshed and courage of the MacAn clan, while the green represents the fertile Highlands and the clan’s strong ties to the land. Black lines weave through the design, signifying the solidarity and unity within the clan. The pattern is a harmonious arrangement of large red squares bordered by dark green, evoking both a traditional and strong aesthetic.
