About this tartan

Clan Mackay is an ancient and once-powerful clan of the far north. Its chief was created Lord Reay in 1628, and the clan's lands of Strathnaver later became known as the Reay Country. The name derives from the Gaelic Mac Aoidh, "son of Aodh." The Mackays feuded with neighbors, notably Clan Ross and their cousins the Gordon Earls of Sutherland
