MacNeil of Barra Modern Tartan Kilt
The MacNeil of Barra tartan, which Wilsons of Bannockburn have expertly woven, has a profound meaning in the Scottish tradition as the traditional weave of the noble clan, MacNeil.
Being one of the oldest registered tartans in Scotland, its rich history is closely interwoven with the history of Barra Island and the seat of the clan. The unusual shape of the tartan, making use of slender black guards and a wide yellow line, is a tribute to the original count of threads that was documented by Ian MacNeil of Barra in 2001, in the Lyon Court Books. This difference shows the subtleties of the traditional Scottish weaving, in which even the slightest changes can have significant cultural importance. The MacNeil of Barra tartan is still held dear by the descendants as a family symbol and heirloom, but also remains a timeless symbol of the rich Scottish tapestry.
