About this tartan

MacQueen is also given as MacSween, 'son of Sweyn', and the family is said to share the descent of Clan Donald. The clan was once known as Clan Revan, and its chiefs became lairds of Corrybrough. According to tradition, the family came to Strathdearn in the fifteenth century in the wedding party of Mora MacDonald of Moidart when she married Malcolm (Calum Beg) Mackintosh, 10th of Mackintosh; Revan, also called Roderic mac Milmor vic Swen, settled at Corrybrough on the upper Findhorn
