About this tartan

MacKie is a Lowland Scottish name, an anglicized form of the Gaelic MacAoidh, most closely associated with Galloway. The Mackies of Larg emerged as the leading family of the name in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, and later heavily mortgaged the barony of Larg in support of the Solemn League and Covenant. Sir Patrick Mackie of Larg was one of the original fifty Scottish undertakers granted land in the early seventeenth-century Plantation of Ulster, though part of his Donegal grant was later taken over by the Earl of Annandale
