Steeped in history, the McTaggart Tartan embodies centuries of Scottish culture and tradition. Originating from the Gaelic "Mac an t-Sagairt," meaning "son of the priest," the McTaggart clan aligns with the historical depth of Clan Ross. The tartan's story traces the timeline of Scotland’s sartorial evolution, with tartans gaining prominence in the 16th century through the advent of chemical dyes. By the 19th century, the Romantic movement rekindled interest in Scottish heritage, popularizing clan-specific tartans. During this period, the McTaggart tartan was either designed or standardized. While its exact origins remain a mystery, it’s believed to be either a modern creation from the 19th or 20th century or an homage to ancient Highland dress patterns rooted in traditional clan colors.
The McTaggart Tartan is visually striking, featuring a blue base intertwined with a pattern of green and black overcheck. This classic combination is enhanced by delicate red stripes, embodying the vibrant spirit of traditional Scottish tartans.
Made of 100% acrylic wool, this fabric offers both durability and comfort, making it perfect for traditional garments like kilts and skirts. The tartan drapes beautifully and retains its shape, ensuring a timeless and practical choice for any occasion.
