MacLean of Duart Htg
The MacLean of Duart Hunting tartan is a distinctive and vibrant pattern that holds significant historical value for the MacLean clan. This tartan primarily features a deep red that symbolizes the clan’s bravery and strength. Complementing the red are bold stripes of black and a rich, modern green, which represent the clan’s connection to the lush landscapes of their ancestral lands. Accents of blue, yellow, and white add depth and contrast to the tartan, enhancing its visual appeal.
Traditionally associated with the hunting attire of the MacLean family, this tartan was designed to blend into the natural environment of Duart, where the clan has resided since the 14th century. The use of green and earth tones reflects the wooded areas and hills surrounding Duart Castle, providing camouflage during hunting expeditions. The MacLean of Duart Hunting tartan is not just a symbol of family heritage but also a practical adaptation to the rugged, picturesque terrain of the Scottish Highlands.
