About this tartan

The name MacIntyre, from the Gaelic Mac an t-Saoir, means 'son of the carpenter'. Tradition traces the clan to Maurice Mac Neil, said to be a nephew of Somerled; its chiefs held Glen Noe until 1806. By clan tradition the MacIntyres were hereditary foresters to the Lords of Lorne, with their chiefs based at Glen Noe on the east side of Loch Etive in Argyll
