About the MacHardy Family Tartan
The MacHardy name — also McHardy and MacHardie — belongs to the Highlands of Aberdeenshire and the country round about: Deeside, Donside and Glenshee. Those of the name are counted among the septs of Clan Farquharson, whose chief is seated at Invercauld in Braemar.
There is a second thread worth knowing: the MacHardies of Strathdon followed the Mackintosh as their chief and so reckoned themselves of Clan Chattan, and MacHardy is listed as a Mackintosh sept as well. Those of the name may wear either tartan according to their own family's line.
MacHardy Tartan Pattern and Colours
Worn with the Farquharson tartan, this collection draws on a deep green ground crossed with blue and black and lifted by fine red lines — the colours of the Deeside hills and the Cairngorm country beyond.
MacHardy Heritage
The MacHardies were never great landowners, but they were numerous and influential in their own country, farming and holding tacks through the glens of upper Deeside and Donside. The derivation of the name has been traced by some through the older forms Gartney and MacCardney, and it appears in the north-east records in a wide range of spellings.
Their association with Clan Farquharson comes from long neighbourhood on the ground — in Braemar, Strathdee and Glenshee — while the Strathdon branch looked instead to the Mackintosh, chief of Clan Chattan. Both connections are recognised today, and a MacHardy family may reasonably claim either.
