MacCrimmon of Skye Tartan Kilt
The MacCrimmons (Gaelic: MacCruimein) are a legendary Scottish family renowned for their centuries-long role as hereditary pipers to Clan MacLeod on the Isle of Skye. Based at Borreraig near Dunvegan Castle, they established the most famous piping school in Highland history, training generations of pipers in the art of Piobaireachd (Ceòl Mòr or "Big Music"). Revered for their unmatched skill and legacy, many classic pipe tunes are attributed to the MacCrimmons, though their authorship remains rooted in oral tradition. The family’s origins are debated, with theories suggesting Norse or even Italian roots, yet most scholars agree the name derives from the Gaelic “Mac Ruimein.” Their historic role in Highland culture is commemorated annually at Dunvegan Castle through the prestigious MacCrimmon Memorial Piobaireachd Competition. Though the original line faded by the 19th century, the MacCrimmon name was revived in the 20th century with new hereditary pipers recognized by Clan MacLeod, maintaining their place as iconic figures in Scottish piping history.
