~ The History ~
Our 'new' tartan has an amazing history. It is a replica of the first tartan adopted by the Chiefs of the Clan MacDougall over 200 years ago - which in turn was a copy of an even older piece.
The tartan was discovered in 2010, hanging as curtains in Dunollie House, by Peter MacDonald, Chief Researcher for the Scottish Tartans Authority and the leading expert on early tartan. From small details in the weaving and construction of the cloth, it has been possible to recreate the history of the tartan.
