Historical Context
The MacArthur Tartan is steeped in rich Scottish heritage, embodying centuries of history and legacy. The MacArthurs were once the most senior branch of the Clan Campbell, with origins tracing back to the time of Robert II, who bestowed the lands of Strachur upon Arthur Campbell. This tartan recalls their prominence, especially during the rebellion against Bruce, after which they were granted lands formerly held by the MacDougalls. The clan's influence waned after the execution of their chief, John, during the reign of James I. Notably, John MacArthur of Strachur played a pivotal role in Australia’s development in the 18th century, laying the foundation for its thriving wine and wool industries. A Gaelic proverb aptly states, “there is nothing more ancient than MacArthur, the Hills, MacArthur, and the Devil,” emphasizing their historical significance.
