Macneil of Barra Ancient Tartan Fabric is a distinguished Scottish textile that embodies the rich heritage of Clan Macneil of Barra. Known for its classic “Ancient” color palette, this tartan features softer, muted tones that replicate the appearance of historically hand-dyed fabrics. It is perfect for traditional Highland garments, modern fashion, and heritage-inspired projects that celebrate Scotland’s culture and clan identity.

The Macneil of Barra Ancient tartan features deep navy and forest green tones as its base, accented with subtle red and yellow lines arranged in a traditional sett pattern. The muted, softened colors give the fabric a timeless, vintage look while maintaining the recognizability of the clan’s tartan. This makes it ideal for formal Highland dress, casual wear, and creative textile projects.

Macneil of Barra Ancient Tartan Fabric is made from high-quality materials such as pure new wool or durable blended fabrics. These provide comfort, breathability, and long-lasting performance. The woven structure ensures the tartan pattern remains clear and vibrant over time while allowing the fabric to drape naturally for garments, accessories, or decorative applications.

This versatile fabric is ideal for kilts, jackets, skirts, trousers, scarves, upholstery, and craft projects. It is also suitable for ceremonial clothing, Highland events, weddings, and cultural celebrations. Its muted tones make it easy to coordinate with other fabrics, accessories, or leather goods, while still maintaining a strong Highland identity.
