About the MacCorquodale Clan Tartan
Clan MacCorquodale is a Scottish clan recognised by the Court of the Lord Lyon, though as an armigerous clan it has no chief recognised at present, the chiefly line having gone untraced since the 18th century. Those of the name wear the MacCorquodale tartan, a handsome sett of the western Highlands.
The name is an anglicisation of the Gaelic Mac Thorcadail, "son of Torcadal" — a Norse personal name from Thorketill, of the god Thor — a memory of the Norse-Gaelic world of the western seaboard. The clan motto is Vivat Rex, "long live the king."
MacCorquodale Tartan Pattern and Colours
This collection draws on warm gold and green crossed with dark lines — earthy, dignified colours of the Loch Awe country, fitting for an old clan of Norse-Gaelic descent in the hills of Argyll.
MacCorquodale Heritage
The MacCorquodales held lands west of Loch Awe in Argyll, centred at Phantelane — from the Gaelic for "the white island" — with their castle on Eilean-a-Bharain, the baron's island in Loch Tromlee. The Barons MacCorquodale are on record from the 15th century, holding their island stronghold in the heart of Campbell country.
Clan tradition tells that the ancestor of the name, Thorkil, recovered the head of King Alpin, and was rewarded with lands by Loch Awe — the tale that lies behind the clan's loyal motto Vivat Rex. The name is also claimed as a sept by the MacLeods of Lewis and by Clan Gunn, both of Norse descent. The chiefly line has been untraced since the 18th century, and Clan MacCorquodale is today an armigerous clan.
