“Argyll the ‘high land of the Gael’, is the part of Scotland that points like the fingers of a hand south across the sea to Ireland. Around the fifth century, the Gaels moved east to Carrick and Galloway and north to Argyll where they founded the Kingdom of Dalriada. Expanding north and east through Argyll, the Scotts assimilated the earlier picts and brought their language and culture to all of northern Scotland. Argyll is a land of green peninsulas, high mountains, fertile valleys and majestic loches. Argyll is often identified with the Cambells’, whose chief is the Duke of Argyll.
The first record of the Argyll district tartan is in the 1819 Key pattern book of Wilsons of Bannockburn when is is referred to as ‘No. 230 or Argyll.”
