Historical Context: The MacNeil of Colonsay clan traces its origins back to the Isle of Barra and later Colonsay in the Inner Hebrides. A branch of the larger MacNeil clan, this lineage is believed to descend from the ancient royal lines of Niall of the Nine Hostages, a legendary High King of Ireland. In the 18th century, the MacNeils established themselves independently on the islands of Colonsay and Oronsay. Notable for their seafaring skills, they played a significant role in Scotland's maritime history. The MacNeil of Colonsay Tartan, officially recorded in the 19th century, symbolizes the unique identity of this proud Scottish clan.
