About this tartan

Clan MacDougall descends from Dougall, son of the great 12th-century warlord Somerled, who inherited Argyll and a string of Hebridean islands, including Mull, Lismore, Jura, Tiree, and Coll, after his father's death in 1164. By the 13th century the MacDougalls were the dominant clan of the Western Highlands, styled Lords of Lorn, and built or held a formidable chain of castles including Dunollie, Dunstaffnage, and Duntrune. Their fortunes turned after a deadly clash with Robert the Bruce's family in 1306 sparked a blood feud; Bruce defeated the clan at the Battle of the Pass of Brander in 1308, and the lordship of Lorn was forfeited to the Campbells
