About this tartan

An Ayrshire family whose name is found early in Carrick; Recherus MecMaccharil witnessed a charter of the Earl of Carrick under William the Lion. They held Hillhouse near Troon from the 16th century or earlier, and it remained the family's seat for centuries. Family tradition, recorded in the nineteenth-century History of the County of Ayr, traces the line to a Sir John Mckirel who distinguished himself at the Battle of Otterburn in 1388
