About this tartan

Gillies is a Scottish surname derived from the Gaelic Mac Gille Iosa, "son of the servant of Jesus," likely referring to an early convert to Christianity. It was most prevalent historically in the Hebrides. Early recorded bearers include a witness named Gillise to a 1128 charter of King David I to Holyrood Abbey
