MacIntyre Ancient Tartan

Historical Context

Clan MacIntyre, which translates to "Son of the Carpenter," has a rich history deeply rooted in Scottish lore. This Highland clan served as foresters to the Lords of Lorne and established their presence in Glen Noe, Argyll, over centuries. Although the infamous "Black Book of Glen Noe" remains elusive, the MacIntyre legacy is well documented. They played a role in significant historical events, such as the Wars of the Three Kingdoms and the Jacobite rising of 1745–46, albeit not as a standalone force. The clan’s motto, "Per Ardua" (Through Adversity), along with a crest depicting a hand wielding a dagger, embodies their resilience. Associated names like MacCosham, MacIntire, and MacKintyre further emphasize their enduring heritage within Scottish history.

Tartan Design

The MacIntyre Ancient Tartan is characterized by a striking pattern that features deep green, rich red, and bold blue. Each color carries symbolic meaning:

• Green represents the lush forests of Scotland.
• Blue symbolizes the tranquil lochs.
• Red embodies the courage and strength of the MacIntyre clan.

This tartan not only serves as a vibrant representation of the clan’s heritage but also reflects the unity and pride of its members. Crafted from 100% acrylic wool, it ensures durability and comfort, making it a perfect addition to your wardrobe.
