Historical Context
The MacGill Ancient Tartan has a rich heritage, tracing its origins back to the MacGills of Jura, established before 1745. This family tartan held significance in the Highland culture but faced a period of obscurity after the tartan ban following the Jacobite uprisings. Rediscovered in Kintyre, remnants of this tartan were preserved in the Kintyre Museum of Antiquities, which is now part of the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh. The modern interpretation, first released around 1930, is recognized by the MacGill Society and is housed within the STA Dalgety Collection. As one of the prominent Highland clan tartans, the MacGill Ancient Tartan embodies a deep connection to Scottish history and tradition.
Color Scheme and Pattern
The MacGill Ancient Tartan features a striking design characterized by a dark red background adorned with horizontal and vertical lighter green and yellow lines, interspersed with navy shaded stripes. The interplay of lines symbolizes resilience and strength, reflecting the clan's enduring spirit. Crafted from 100% acrylic wool, this tartan ensures durability and comfort, making it an ideal choice for both formal and casual wear.
