  • Notes:

    This is the oldest recorded version of the Clan sett. it varies slightly from those recorded by Logan, Smibert, grant, etc., but the motif is the same throughout. Of the nine in dependant branches of the Clam Donald, there are at least 27 different sets. It was not until 1947 that the MacDonald's again had a high chief, MacDhomnuill, who by tradition has the final word on the tartans of the clan. That right was granted to Alexander macDonald of MacDonald whose son Godfrey is now the 8th Chief..

     

    This tartan dates to 1819.
