Macaulay Hunting Ancient Tartan

Historical Context

The Macaulay clan's rich history dates back to the 13th century, with two distinct branches: one established in Ardincaple and the other on the Isle of Lewis. The Ardincaple MacAulays were part of Clan Alpine, forming an alliance with the MacGregor clan in 1591. Their lands were transferred to the Duke of Argyll in 1787. The Lewis MacAulays trace their lineage to the MacLeods and are believed to descend from Aula, known as "Olave The Black," the 13th-century King of Man and the Isles. The Macaulay name is also linked to a town on the Highland mainland, associated with Clan MacKenzie. This storied heritage enhances the significance of the Macaulay Hunting Ancient Tartan.
