Historical Context
The MacDonald of Sleat Ancient Tartan carries a rich heritage linked to one of Scotland's oldest and most formidable clans. The origins of the MacDonald clan can be traced back to Somerled in the 12th century, who expelled Norsemen from the Western Isles and established Clan Donald as a powerful entity. Somerled's defiance against King Malcolm IV in 1164 led to his execution, yet his legacy lived on through his descendants. Notably, one of Somerled's heirs, John, became the "Lord of the Isles" in 1354, wielding considerable influence. The clan's power surged as they fought for territory, culminating in the recognition of their claims to the Earldom of Ross in 1430. The MacDonald clan's enduring legacy is celebrated through the MacDonald of Sleat Ancient Tartan, intricately woven in Scotland.
