Historical Context
Steeped in the misty lore of the Scottish Highlands, the MacRae Clan Ancient Tartan is not just fabric but a canvas that paints centuries of valor and tradition. The MacRaes, rooted in the serene landscapes of Clunes near the southern shores of the Beauly Firth, have woven their history tightly with the threads of their tartan. Originating from Ross-shire, with ties stretching to Inverness-shire and Argyll, this clan has historically aligned with the crown, showcasing a staunch Episcopalian faith and a steadfast commitment to Scottish sovereignty. The evolution of the MacRae tartan mirrors the cultural journey of Scotland itself—from practical garments to symbols of familial identity. Each thread of the MacRae Hunting Ancient Tartan embodies traditional styles that likely adorned the clan during the pivotal Jacobite Rising of 1715.
Color Scheme and Pattern
While definitive origins of the "Ancient" pattern are shrouded in time, its blue hues interwoven with green reflect a connection to the natural landscape of the Highlands, a testament to the clan's enduring legacy. The MacRae Clan Ancient Tartan boasts a base of rich blue, symbolizing depth and stability, layered with vibrant green checks that echo the lush Scottish terrain. Black overchecks add a touch of solemnity and mystique, while subtle stripes of red and light blue intersperse, offering a glimpse into the traditional palette used by the Highlanders. This intricate sett pattern not only captures the essence of the clan's historical attire but also serves as a vibrant reminder of their storied past and indomitable spirit. The tartan is made from 100% acrylic wool, ensuring durability and comfort for the wearer.
