MacRae Hunting Tartan
Historical Context
The MacRae Hunting Tartan stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Clan MacRae, a prominent Scottish clan with origins rooted deep in the Scottish Highlands. With disputed accounts surrounding their exact emergence, it is widely believed that the clan traces its roots to Clunes near Beauty Firth in Scotland during the 14th century. One of the most notable chapters in Clan MacRae's history unfolds against the backdrop of the Jacobite Rising of 1715. During this tumultuous time, John MacRae of Conchra and Lochalsh led his fellow clansmen to join the ranks of the rebel army. This act of loyalty and courage underscored the deep-seated dedication that Clan MacRae held to their cause. An intriguing facet of the clan's history lies in the very fabric of their tartans. In the early days, Scots utilized locally available resources such as berries and seaweed to dye yarns. This ingenuity resulted in the creation of the first Clan and District tartans, each representing the distinct origins and identity of various clans. The 1746 Jacobite Rising brought with it a period of adversity for traditional Highland wear. The British Parliament's ban on such attire cast a shadow over the popularity of tartan. However, this setback merely fueled the resilience of tartan, propelling it to become an integral part of modern fashion and an enduring symbol of Scottish heritage.
