Historical Context
The Thomson Blue Ancient Tartan has deep roots in Scottish heritage, often associated with the Clan MacTavish, a branch of the larger MacDonald clan. The name 'MacTavish' stems from the Gaelic ‘MacThamlais’, meaning 'son of Thomas'. Historically, the MacTavishes were prominent in Argyllshire, with their lineage traced back to Tauris Coir, son of Gillespick. The tartan's significance extends beyond mere fabric; it symbolizes clan identity, unity, and pride, often worn during significant cultural events and gatherings. Notable figures of the clan have played vital roles in Scotland's social and military history, embodying the spirit of resilience and loyalty that tartans represent.
