About the MacGrath Family Tartan
The MacGrath name — also McGrath and Magrath — comes from the Gaelic Mac Craith, meaning "son of grace" or prosperity. It is an old and distinguished Irish name, found in both the province of Munster and in Ulster. As an Irish family rather than a Scottish clan, those of the MacGrath name may wear a tartan of Irish heritage.
The MacGraths were famed as hereditary poets and as churchmen, holding church lands and serving the great Gaelic lords. This collection brings a fitting Irish tartan into wearable apparel, everyday accessories, home decor and meaningful heritage gifts, honouring one of the old names of Ireland.
MacGrath Tartan Pattern and Colours
This collection draws on the rich greens of Ireland crossed with fine lines of white and gold — the fresh green of the fields and glens where the MacGraths made their home, in Munster and in Ulster, a proud palette for an old Gaelic family.
MacGrath Heritage
In Munster, the MacGraths were a learned family who served as hereditary poets, or ollamhs, to the great house of O'Brien, kings and princes of Thomond, and their verse was prized across Gaelic Ireland. The name spread through counties Clare, Tipperary and Waterford, where it remains common to this day.
In Ulster, another line of MacGraths were erenaghs — hereditary keepers of church lands — at Termon Magrath by Lough Erne in Fermanagh, and gave the celebrated churchman Miler Magrath. From both branches the MacGrath name spread across Ireland and, with the great emigrations, to Britain, America and beyond.
