About this tartan

Clan MacLaine of Lochbuie is a Highland clan that shares its origins with Clan Maclean, tracing descent through the 13th-century warrior Gillean of the Battle-Axe; the clan's traditional genealogy claims a further descent from the Anglo-Norman Fitzgerald family. Hector, the first chief of Lochbuie, received lands on the Isle of Mull in the mid-14th century from the Lord of the Isles, and built Moy Castle at Lochbuie as its stronghold; territory later extended to Scarba, Jura, Morvern and Tiree. The distinctive 'MacLaine' spelling was adopted by Hector, the 8th chief, around 1600, distinguishing the family from the related Macleans of Duart
