About this tartan

Clan Maclean descends from Gillean of the Battle-Axe, a 13th-century warrior whose descendants settled on the Isle of Mull. The clan grew powerful in the Hebrides during the late medieval period, holding Duart Castle as its principal stronghold and waging a long and bloody feud with the MacDonalds of Islay and Kintyre. Sir Hector Maclean, 18th chief, was killed at the Battle of Inverkeithing in 1651 during the Wars of the Three Kingdoms, and the clan supported the Jacobite rising of 1715
