Mackellar Ancient Tartan
Historical Context
Immerse yourself in the historical essence of Scotland with our Mackellar Ancient Tartan, a textile that carries the weight and beauty of Scottish history in every thread. Originating from the Gaelic 'Mac Walair,' which translates to 'son of Hilarius,' the MacKellar name has profound roots dating back to Hilarius, Bishop of Poitiers around the 13th century. Residing mainly in Argyll, the MacKellar family spread its branches throughout Scotland and beyond over the centuries. Recognized as a sept of the prestigious Campbells of Argyll, the MacKellars share a deep-seated connection with one of Scotland's most influential clans. This relationship is further celebrated through the tartan's design, which emerged around 1930 and reflects a shared heritage with the Clan Campbell tartan, offering a piece of Scottish history woven into a fabric of culture and identity.
Color Scheme and Pattern
This vibrant tartan features a refreshing blend of cool and lively colors, perfect for those who appreciate a modern twist on tradition. The design is anchored by a bright turquoise and teal base, evoking the serene hues of Scotland�s coastal waters. The pattern is meticulously highlighted with crisp stripes of yellow, black, and white, crafting a visual representation that is as striking as it is meaningful. Each color and line in the sett pattern of this tartan narrates a story, connecting wearers to the lush landscapes and rich history of Scotland.
