About this tartan

Clan Livingstone, also called Clan MacLea, is centred on Bachuil on the Isle of Lismore in Argyll. The Highland name may come from the Gaelic Mac an Léigh, 'son of the physician'; the Lowland Livingstons take theirs from Livingston in West Lothian. Lismore MacLeas probably adopted the surname in the seventeenth century, when James Livingston of Skirling, a Lowland Livingston, held a lease of the bishoprics of Argyll and the Isles
