Historical Context
The MacClure Tartan embodies centuries of Scottish heritage, tracing its origins to the ancient Dalriadan tribes of Scotland's western coast and the Hebrides islands. The name "McClure" stems from the Gaelic "Mac-Giolla-Uidhir," meaning "son of the pale youth" or "son of Odhar's servant," highlighting the clan's historical significance. Established in Ayrshire and Galloway, the clan has produced notable figures, including John McLur and Robert McLure, who were loyal supporters of the Earl of Casilis in 1526. Robert MacLure, the earliest recorded Clan piper, served as the chief of the Buchanans in 1600. By embracing the MacClure Tartan, you connect with a legacy rich in loyalty and honor.
