About the O'Donohue Clan Tartan
The O'Donohue name — also O'Donoghue and Donohoe, in Gaelic Ó Donnchadha — is an old Irish name of Munster, not a Scottish clan but a Gaelic princely house of Kerry. Those of the name wear an Irish national or County Kerry tartan, honouring their roots by the Lakes of Killarney.
The O'Donohues are of the Eoganacht, the ancient royal kindred of Munster, and their chief, The O'Donoghue of the Glens, is among the few Chiefs of the Name recognised in Ireland. This collection brings a fitting Irish tartan into wearable apparel, accessories, home decor and heritage gifts.
O'Donohue Tartan Pattern and Colours
This collection draws on the deep greens of the Kerry mountains crossed with black and lifted by fine lines — the colours of oakwood, lake and glen, fitting for a family whose home is the loveliest country in Ireland.
O'Donohue Heritage
The O'Donohues were first settled in what is now County Cork, and in the twelfth century moved west into Kerry, taking the country about Lough Leane and Killarney. After Auliffe Mór O'Donoghue, who died in 1158, the family divided into two great septs: the O'Donoghues Mór of Lough Leane, whose castle was Ross Castle on the lake shore, and the O'Donoghues of the Glens, seated at Killaha Castle in Glenflesk.
The O'Donoghues Mór lost their lands after the wars of the sixteenth century, but the Glens branch held both its property and its unbroken succession through four centuries. In 1944 the chief was among the few recognised by the first Chief Herald of Ireland as having a verified pedigree. Killarney folklore still tells of the O'Donoghue who vanished into the lake, and who is said to ride across the water on a May morning.
