Historical Context
The MacNaughton Clan, rooted in the lush landscapes of Argyll and Bute, boasts a rich history dating back to the 12th century. The name, derived from the Gaelic "Mac Neachdainn," translates to "son of Neachdainn." The clan's motto, "Animo et Fide" or "By Courage and Faith," reflects its legacy. Originally, the MacNaughtons held lands in Strathtay but later expanded to include territories around Loch Awe and Loch Fyne. Their fortunes shifted when Donald MacNaughton opposed King Robert the Bruce, leading to significant losses. The MacNaughton Ancient Tartan, recognized globally, features a striking pattern of red, green, and blue, with bold black lines that exemplify its storied heritage.
