Historical Context
Step into the rich tapestry of Scottish history with the MacLaren Ancient Tartan, a woven emblem of tradition and heritage. Named after the Gaelic "MacLabhruinn," signifying the 'Sons of Laurence,' this tartan hails from the heart of Perthshire. The MacLaren clan, under the watchful eye of their lion crest, has deep-rooted connections to the land, with ancestral ties reaching back to the Isle of Tiree in Argyll and Stirlingshire's Abbot Laurence of Achtow. Throughout the centuries, the MacLarens have etched their name in Scottish lore. They owned lands in Balquhidder and the Island of Tiree, but their journey was not without strife. Feuds with the Buchanans and alliances with the Campbells for defense bear testament to their resilience. They ardently supported the Stewart cause, fighting valiantly in historical battles like Sauchieburn, Flodden, and Pinkie, only to suffer great losses in the Battle of Culloden.
Color Scheme and Pattern
The MacLaren Ancient Tartan is a sight to behold, featuring a traditional plaid pattern that showcases rich shades of green, blue, black, yellow, and red. Each color carries its own symbolism, reflecting the natural beauty and history of Scotland. The intertwining threads of this tartan form a mesmerizing sett pattern that encapsulates the MacLaren clan's storied legacy. This tartan is made from 100% acrylic wool for durability and comfort, ensuring a timeless piece that endures through generations.
