About the MacInnes Clan Tartan
The Scottish Register of Tartans records MacInnes as a Clan/Family tartan. The MacInnes sett is a handsome design of green and blue crossed with black and lifted by fine lines, a cool and dignified pattern of the western Highlands, worn in both ancient and modern shades.
Clan MacInnes, from the Gaelic Clann Aonghais, "children of Angus," is one of the most ancient of the Highland clans, of old Dalriadic stock, long seated in Morvern. Famed as hereditary bowmen, the MacInnes make this tartan especially meaningful for family pride and Scottish ancestry gifts.
MacInnes Tartan Pattern and Colours
MacInnes tartan is recognised for its green and blue ground crossed with black and lifted by fine lines — cool, handsome colours of the sea-lochs and hills of Morvern, fitting for an ancient clan of the western coast. Ancient shades appear softer, while modern shades are deeper.
MacInnes Heritage
By the early 12th century the MacInnes were well established across Morvern, the peninsula between Loch Sunart and Loch Linnhe, with their traditional seat at Kinlochaline Castle. They were renowned as hereditary bowmen — the line of Neil of the Bow — and served as archers to the Lords of the Isles and their allies on the western seaboard.
An ancient clan without a chief in later centuries, the MacInnes are reckoned an armigerous clan today. In the Jacobite rising of 1745 the clansmen were divided, some standing with the government and the Campbells, others with the Stewarts of Appin for Prince Charles. The clan should not be confused with the unrelated Clan Innes of Moray. From Morvern the MacInnes name spread across the Highlands and the world.
