McKerrell Tartan

Historical Context

The McKerrell clan, also known as Clan MacFhearghail, has a rich history dating back to medieval Scotland. The clan is believed to have originated from the Ayrshire area and was one of the prominent clans in the region. This name means 'son of Fearghal,' translating to 'super choice' in Irish. The clan's origins can be traced back to the 12th century when Recherus Mecmaccharil witnessed a confirmation by Dunekan, Earl of Karic, of a charter by Roger de Scallebroc of the lands in Carrik during the reign of William the Lion. Over the centuries, this clan has been mentioned in various charters, with individuals bearing the surname witnessing land grants and confirmations. Notable members include Sir John M'Kirel, who fought in the Battle of Otterburn in 1388, and William McKeirell, sheriff-clerk of Ayr in 1595. Today, descendants of this clan proudly use the tartan as a symbol of their ancestry.
