Morgan Tartan

Historical Context

The name Morgan holds a place of significance throughout Britain, with origins dating back to early Celtic and Old British times. In Scotland, Morgans were predominantly found in Aberdeenshire and among the esteemed Sutherland Mackays. Clan Morgan had strong ties to the Mackays of the Reay region, eventually becoming Clan Aoidh. The Morgan Modern tartan pays homage to the proud heritage of Morgans who have been embraced as clansmen by the Clan MacKenzie Chief. It shares the same captivating pattern as the MacKay Blue Ancient tartan, allowing Morgans, as a sept of Clan MacKay, to proudly don the MacKay clan crest. The designer of the Morgan Modern tartan hails from a Celtic family with deep Scottish roots, traced back through the Mackenzie lineage. The name Morgan itself traces its origins to the Old Welsh personal name Morcant, meaning "sea circle."
