MacNeil of Barra Tartan

Step into the vibrant history of Scotland with the MacNeil of Barra Tartan. Originating from the Isle of Barra, this tartan carries the proud legacy of the MacNeil clan, whose roots stretch back to Ireland. Over generations, the MacNeils settled in Scotland, bringing with them a culture rich in tradition and history. The MacNeil of Barra Modern Tartan, recognized officially by the current chief of Clan MacNeil, embodies a blend of tradition and modernity. This modern adaptation reflects not just the clan's enduring spirit but also their adaptation to contemporary tastes and fashion trends. As one of the primary tartans of the clan, it represents a tangible link to the past, offering a piece of Scottish heritage that continues to inspire pride and belonging among its members and admirers.

The MacNeil of Barra Tartan is distinguished by its striking color palette and intricate sett pattern. Set against a deep blue background, the tartan features bold green and black stripes, with delicate yellow and white lines adding contrast and depth. This combination not only enhances the visual appeal but also makes the tartan versatile for various traditional Scottish attire.
