MacKirdy Family Tartan WR1092
|
|
| This sample comes from the MacGregor-Hastie collection
which forms the basis of the cloth archive of the Scottish
Tartans Society. MacGregor-Hastie noted, "A pattern seen
at Andersons, Edinburgh, was labelled 'MacKirdy'. It is a
simple green tartan. The family are usually given as a sept
of the Stuarts of Bute. The tartan is modern". One can
assume that the sample dates between 1930 and 1950. At a
very early period the larger part of the Island of Bute
belonged to the Mackuerdys, which was leased to them by
King James 1V of Scotland.
