The MacRae Clan is a Scottish Highland clan with a history dating back to the 13th century. The clan takes its name from the village of Kintail in the Western Highlands, where it was originally known as "Clan Macraith". According to tradition, the MacRaes settled in Kintail during the 14th century. They became trusted supporters of the MacKenzies and held positions of influence such as Chamberlains of Kintail and Constables of Eilean Donan Castle. During the Jacobite uprising, the MacRaes fought for the Royal Stuarts and demonstrated unwavering loyalty. The Macrae Hunting Weathered Tartan is a modern tartan designed to represent the Macrae Clan. The Macrae Clan was known for its prowess as warriors and for its loyalty to the Scottish crown. During the Jacobite uprisings in the 18th century, the Macraes fought on the side of the British government against the rebels. One of the most famous Macraes was Kenneth Macrae, who served as a piper to Queen Victoria and was known for his skill on the bagpipes.
The MacRae Hunting Weathered Tartan features an earthy and muted color palette, perfectly suited for the rugged Scottish Highlands. The tartan's pattern consists of soft browns, faded greys, and olive tones, evoking the natural landscapes and weathered history of the region. Subtle red stripes add a touch of warmth and contrast, while thin white lines bring a crisp definition to the overall design. Woven from high-quality wool, this fabric is both durable and comfortable, making it ideal for traditional Scottish garments.
