MacKinnon Ancient Tartan

Historical Context

The MacKinnon Ancient Tartan traces its roots back to the Clan Alpin, notably descended from Kenneth MacAlpin, a significant figure in Scottish history. The clan's lineage can be traced to Fingon, whose Gaelic name means “Fair Born.” By the end of the 10th century, Findanus, the 4th Chief of MacKinnon, solidified his legacy through marriage to a Norse princess. This union granted him the castle of Dunakin on the Isle of Skye, marking a notable event in the clan's heritage. The MacKinnon tartan, steeped in history, symbolizes the clan’s noble lineage and cultural significance.
