About the McCall (Caithness) Family Tartan
The McCall name — also MacCall and McCaul — is an old Scottish name, thought to come from the Gaelic Mac Cathmhaoil, "son of the battle-chief," or to be a form of MacAulay. Found in Galloway in the south-west, the name is also long established in Caithness in the far north, and this collection honours the McCalls of that northern county through the Caithness district tartan.
This collection brings a fitting Scottish tartan into wearable apparel, everyday accessories, home decor and meaningful heritage gifts, honouring an old name and its home in the far north of Scotland.
McCall Tartan Pattern and Colours
Worn with the Caithness district tartan, this collection draws on the soft, weathered tones of the far north — gentle golds, greens and greys recalling the moors, cliffs and wide skies of Caithness, the land where the Highlands meet the northern sea.
McCall Heritage
The name McCall is found in more than one part of Scotland: in Galloway in the south-west, where many of the name have their roots, and in the far north in Caithness, a county long shared between families of Norse and Gaelic descent. The name's meaning — "son of the battle-chief" — speaks of the warrior culture of the old Gaelic world.
In Caithness, a land of great clans such as the Gunns, Keiths and Sinclairs, families of the McCall name lived among the moors and along the northern coast. From Caithness and the wider north the McCall name spread across Scotland and, with the great emigrations, to the wider world, keeping its old northern roots.
