MacAulay Hunting Tartan Kilt
During the 15th and 16th centuries in West Dumbartonshire, Clan MacAulay, alongside Clans MacFarlane and Colquhoun, raided neighboring lands, sweeping the Lowlands of Scotland. By the late 1500s, they were embroiled in brutal feuds, especially with Clan Buchanan and Clan Galbraith. In 1590, Walter MacAulay was killed in Dunbarton during a violent clash, igniting a cycle of vengeance and legal battles.
MacAulay of Ardincaple entered a Bond of Manrent with Clan Gregor in 1591, swearing mutual support. This alliance linked Clan MacAulay to the powerful yet outlawed MacGregors, intensifying tensions with the Buchanans and Galbraiths. The feud was further complicated when the Laird of Ardincaple married the Laird of Culcreuch’s mother, provoking threats of revenge from Robert Galbraith.
In 1603, after the Battle of Glen Fruin, Ardincaple was accused of aiding the MacGregors. Despite these charges, royal favor from James VI of Scotland (later James I of England) and the influence of the Duke of Lennox protected him. Notably, Alasdair MacGregor of Glenstrae confessed that Argyll urged him to kill Ardincaple, which he refused due to his sworn loyalty.
According to William F. Skene, the MacAulays may have shared ancestral ties with the Siol Alpin clans, including the MacGregors, suggesting a deeper historical connection. However, many historians argue the bond was more strategic than familial.
The MacAulay Hunting Tartan Kilt is a tribute to the proud heritage of Clan MacAulay, blending history with traditional Highland style. This tartan features earthy greens, deep blues, and subtle browns—perfect for outdoor settings and symbolic of Scotland’s rugged landscapes. Worn historically for stealth and hunting, this kilt reflects the bravery and resilience of the clan.
