Macnaghten Muted Tartan

Well, the survey is coming along nicely, with 20 families responding, and a total of around 44 people planning to attend so far. If you haven’t filled it in yet, there’s still some time left. You can access the survey here.

In response to a recent email discussion with Catherine Hall, who was asking about the clan affiliation, the Porter family is a sept (an affiliated family) of the MacNaghten clan. Porter comes from the French ‘Portier’, meaning gatekeeper or doorkeeper, and is not linked to the Porterfield clan.

Macnaghten Clan Crest

Our clan crest is a castle embattled, Gules, and our motto is ‘I hoip in God’ (or ‘I hope in God’ in English). Our clan chief is Sir Malcolm Francis Macnaghten, 12th Baronet of Bushmills House.

The tartan is available in a number of setts – including a white dress, and new green hunting. The main tartan is a red sett with blue, black, and green stripes.
