About the MacRow Family Tartan
The MacRow name — also McRow, MacCrow and Macro — is a variant form of the name MacRae, according to Black's Surnames of Scotland, the leading authority on Scottish names. It comes, like MacRae, from the Gaelic Mac Rath, "son of grace" or good fortune. As a form of MacRae rather than a separate clan, those of the MacRow name are most fittingly matched with the MacRae tartan.
This collection brings the MacRae tartan into wearable apparel, everyday accessories, home decor and meaningful heritage gifts, honouring an old Highland name and its kinship with the MacRaes of Kintail.
MacRow Tartan Pattern and Colours
Worn with the MacRae tartan, this collection draws on a handsome ground of green and blue crossed with black and lifted by fine lines of red — the cool, dignified colours of Kintail, fitting for the MacRows as a branch of the MacRae name.
MacRow Heritage
As a variant of MacRae, the MacRow name shares the history of that clan, whose home was Kintail in Wester Ross, and who were the trusted followers of the Mackenzies and keepers of Eilean Donan Castle. The many spellings of the name — MacRae, MacRath, MacCrow, Macro, MacRow — arose in an age when few could write and local speech varied greatly from place to place.
The name appears in the old records of the west: Hew MacRow and his brother were among those who fell at Dunoon in 1646, in the troubles of that time. From Kintail and the western Highlands the MacRow name spread across Scotland and overseas, keeping its old kinship with the MacRaes and the country of Kintail.
