Clan MacLeod: Hold Fast

From their ancient seat at Dunvegan Castle on the Isle of Skye, with dominion over Harris and Lewis, Clan MacLeod has endured for over seven centuries as one of the most powerful Hebridean clans. The MacLeod of Harris tartan—famously known as the "Loud MacLeod"—displays their pattern in brilliant canary yellow and jet black, creating the most visually striking and immediately recognizable tartan in Scottish heritage.

The Loud MacLeod: Bold Hebridean Pride

The MacLeod of Harris sett delivers unmatched visual impact through its high-contrast palette of brilliant sunshine yellow crossed by broad jet black bands. This audacious color combination ensures the wearer stands out in any Highland gathering, from the distant hills of Harris to the grandest clan ball. It is bold, uncompromising, and unmistakably MacLeod.
