Historical Context
The MacKenzie Morgan Tartan is a vibrant tapestry woven from the threads of history, culture, and timeless elegance. Its origins are deeply rooted in the legacy of the Clan MacKenzie Chief and the broader heritage of all Morgans recognized as clansmen. The Morgan family, of Celtic descent, settled on the Eastern Shore of the USA in 1657, tracing their lineage back to Scotland. The tartan pays homage to the MacKenzie clan, featuring red lines that symbolize the rich Scottish heritage intertwined with white and blue, reminiscent of the vast oceans that connect continents. The name Morgan carries significant historical weight, particularly in Aberdeenshire and among the Sutherland Mackays, with links to the Picts and even a British monk associated with heretical teachings. This multifaceted heritage reflects the tartan's blend of Celtic and Old British roots, resonating throughout the British Isles.
