About the MacAlpine Clan Tartan
The Scottish Register of Tartans records MacAlpine as a Clan/Family tartan with STWR ref 2024. Its notes state that Frank Adam's The Clans, Septs and Regiments of the Scottish Highlands, published in 1908, is the first document of the tartan.
The Register is careful about the clan story, noting that the history of Clan MacAlpine is obscure and that Siol Alpin belongs more to mythology than history. That distinction is useful for strong content: the page can honour the royal MacAlpin tradition without overstating it as proven genealogy.

MacAlpine Heritage
The MacAlpine name is often associated with Kenneth MacAlpin and the older royal stories of Dalriada, Picts and Scots. The SRT record itself describes the clan history as obscure, which is why this copy treats the royal link as tradition rather than a hard historical claim.
The Register also notes that MacAlpine is similar to Hunting MacLean except for yellow lines, while other tartans connected with Siol Alpin are red. Those design relationships give the collection useful detail beyond a generic clan origin paragraph.
