About the MacQueen Clan Tartan
The Scottish Register of Tartans records MacQueen as a Clan/Family tartan. The MacQueen sett is a bold and handsome design of red crossed with green and blue and lined with black, a warm pattern of the central Highlands, worn in both ancient and modern shades.
Clan MacQueen, from the Gaelic Mac Shuibhne, "son of Sweyn," is a clan of Norse-Gaelic descent and a member of the great Clan Chattan confederation. The clan motto Constant and Faithful, with a crest of a heraldic tyger holding an arrow, makes MacQueen tartan especially meaningful for family pride and Scottish ancestry gifts.
MacQueen Tartan Pattern and Colours
MacQueen tartan is recognised for its bold red ground crossed with green and blue and lined with black, a warm and striking pattern of the central Highlands. Ancient shades appear softer and lighter, while modern shades are deeper and more formal.
MacQueen Heritage
The MacQueens share their name and origin with the MacSweens, of the old Norse-Gaelic kindred, and claim kinship with Clan Donald. In the early 15th century, when a daughter of the Clanranald chief married the Mackintosh chief of Clan Chattan, MacQueens came north as her guard, and settled in Mackintosh country. There they took the lands of Corrybrough in Strathdearn, and were long a part of the Clan Chattan confederation.
The MacQueens of Corrybrough, sometimes called Clan Revan after an early leader, were faithful members of Clan Chattan for centuries. A branch of the name settled on the Isle of Skye. The clan is today an armigerous clan, without a chief, but proud of its Chattan and Norse-Gaelic heritage. The crest is a heraldic tyger, the motto Constant and Faithful.
