Historical Context
The Mactaggart Ancient Tartan traces its origins back to the ancient Celtic Earls of Ross, with Fearcher Macin Tagart emerging as the first of the O'Beolan or Gillanders line. His father, Sagart, was the co-arb or hereditary abbot of the old monastery founded by St. Macbrubha at Applecross in the 7th century. In a defining moment in 1215, Fearcher Macin Tagart demonstrated his loyalty to King Alexander II by beheading the leaders of a rebellion and presenting their heads to the king. Impressed by this act of loyalty, Alexander II knighted Fearcher and later made him the Earl of Ross. This pivotal event secured the MacTaggarts' place in Scottish nobility and solidified their recognition as a sept of Clan Ross.
