Historical Context
Clan McCorquodale, with origins tied to the Norse name "Thorketill," translates to 'son of Torquil.' The legendary founder, Thorkil, is said to have earned his place in history by recovering the head of a late King of Scots, which led to a charter of land. Recognized by the Lord Lyon King of Arms, Clan McCorquodale once thrived in the lands west of Loch Awe in Argyll, with Loch Tromlee serving as their seat and the site of a grand island castle. Their motto, "Vivat Rex," meaning "Long live the King," reflects their royal connections. Despite the absence of a recognized chief since the 18th century, the McCorquodale Tartan remains a proud symbol of the clan's enduring legacy, embraced by Scots and those celebrating their heritage alike.
