Notes:
First seen in the 1880 Clans Originaux (as McPhee) and then in the W & A.K. Johnston book of 1906. As officially approved by Commander A C 'Sandy' McPhie, and as recorded by Court of Lord Lyon LCB 79 dated 29th August 1991. Lyon count: W/Y2 R24 G4 R2 G32 MacPhies, MacFie, or MacDuffie held lands on the Isle of Colonsay until the mid seventeenth century but were later scattered by the clearances. They were the hereditary Keeper of the Records to the Lords of the Isles. The present Commander, Sandy MacPhie, lives in Queensland, Australia. The resemblance of this tartan to that of the Camerons may denote the MacFies' allegiance to that clan on the mainland after they were dispersed from Colonsay.

This tartan dates to 1880.
