Historical Context

The MacAlister of Skye Ancient Tartan is rooted in the long and proud history of Clan MacAlister, a branch of the larger Clan Donald. The MacAlisters, descendants of Alasdair M�r, established themselves as a notable clan in the 13th century, with influence across the Highlands and Islands, including Skye. Known for their loyalty and martial prowess, the clan�s motto, "Per mare per terras" (By sea and by land), reflects their maritime heritage and their capability to defend their territories. The MacAlister crest features an armored arm holding a sword, symbolizing their readiness to protect their honor and lands.

Tartan Description

The MacAlister of Skye Ancient Tartan features a combination of muted red, black, and yellow tones, which are more subdued than modern tartans but hold great historical significance. The soft red represents the courage and sacrifice of the clan, while the black symbolizes their strength and resilience. The yellow lines threading through the pattern signify hope and prosperity. The tartan is designed in a traditional plaid pattern, with larger red and black squares intersected by fine yellow lines, creating a harmonious and classic look that honors the clan�s rich past.
