About this tartan

Clan MacThomas descends from a fifteenth-century Highlander remembered as Tomaidh Mòr, a scion of the Clan Chattan Mackintoshes who led his kin out of an overcrowded Badenoch confederation into Glenshee, Perthshire, where they became known by variants including McComie and McColm. The name MacThomas was formally recorded in the Scottish Parliament's Roll of the Clans in 1587 and 1595. Early chiefs held Thom, on the Shee Water, before the seat moved to Finegand around 1600
