MacDougall Muted Tartan

The MacDougall Muted Tartan carries with it a storied past that stretches back through the centuries. Originating in Lorn, Argyllshire, the MacDougall Clan wielded considerable power along Scotland's western coast. Their loyalty to the Scottish crown is well-documented, though their relationship with the monarchy saw its challenges. Notably, during the Battle of Dalrigh in 1306, the MacDougalls opposed Robert the Bruce. However, the loyalty of the MacDougall Chief to the Scottish King ultimately saved Robert the Bruce's life. The clan's influence began to wane in the 16th century, culminating in the confiscation of their lands by the Campbell Clan. In the Jacobite rising of 1715, Clan MacDougall supported the Jacobites and fought at the Battle of Sheriffmuir. This led to the clan chief's exile, though he later returned to Scotland and lived as a fugitive until his pardon in 1727. The MacDougall tartan�s history is also noteworthy, with its earliest recorded reference found in the Highland Society of London�s collection. A sample of the tartan, signed and sealed by the Clan Chief around 1815, remains. The modern thread count closely resembles a sample dating to around 1830, with the version certified by the Chief MacDougall of MacDougall woven by the House of Edgar in 1906.

The MacDougall Muted Tartan features a rich and subdued color palette that embodies the timeless elegance of Scottish tradition. The tartan is anchored by a deep, earthy red base, which conveys warmth and strength, symbolizing the enduring spirit of the MacDougall clan. This is complemented by dark green squares that evoke the lush landscapes of the Highlands, adding depth and a touch of natural beauty to the design. Thin black and red stripes are interwoven throughout, creating a harmonious and structured grid that ties the pattern together. The muted tones give this tartan a classic, understated look, perfect for those who appreciate a blend of tradition and subtle sophistication. Ideal for kilts, scarves, and other traditional garments, the MacDougall Muted Tartan offers a refined, yet powerful, expression of Scottish heritage.
