About the O'Boyle Clan Tartan
The O'Boyle name — in Gaelic Ó Baoill — is an old Irish name of Donegal, not a Scottish clan but a proud Gaelic kindred of the north-west. Those of the name wear an Irish national or County Donegal tartan, honouring their roots in the old kingdom of Tir Chonaill.
The O'Boyles were reckoned one of the three great families of Tir Chonaill, alongside the O'Donnells and O'Dohertys. This collection brings a fitting Irish tartan into wearable apparel, everyday accessories, home decor and meaningful heritage gifts.
O'Boyle Tartan Pattern and Colours
This collection draws on the deep greens of the Donegal hills crossed with black and lifted by fine lines — the colours of a wild Atlantic country of mountain, bog and sea, fitting for an old kindred of the north-west of Ireland.
O'Boyle Heritage
The O'Boyles held sway in the west of Donegal, in the country still called Boylagh after them, along a coast of headlands and islands facing the Atlantic. In the old annals they are counted among the leading families of Tir Chonaill, the kingdom of the northern Uí Néill, and they held their lands as lords under the O'Donnell kings.
Through the long centuries of Gaelic Ireland the O'Boyles kept their place in Donegal, and after the upheavals of the 17th century the name endured among the people of the west. With the great emigrations it spread to Scotland, America, Canada and Australia, carried by families proud of their Donegal heritage.
