Question: Is There A MacLaren Ancient Tartan?

Answer: 

The colours of the Ancient Maclaren Tartan are dark green, navy blue, yellow, red, and black. The MacLaren family of Argyll is supposed to be derived from Fergus MacErc, the founder of the kingdom of Dál Riata. Clann Labhruinn is the clan name in Scottish Gaelic. Laurence, Abbot of Achtow in Balquhidder, who lived in the thirteenth century, is commonly regarded as the MacLarens' progenitor.

Question: Where Is The MacLaren Clan From In Scotland?

Answer:

Clan MacLaren (Cinneadh MacLabhrainn in Scottish Gaelic) is a Highland Scottish Clan. Traditional clan lands include the former parish of Balquhidder, which contains the settlements of Lochearnhead and Strathyre and spans 54,675 acres (22,126 hectares) and has long been known as "Maclaren Country."   

Motto: Creag an Tuirc (The boar's rock)

Region:  Highland & Tiree

District: Perthshire

Clan Chief:  Donald MacLaren of MacLaren & Achleskine. The 25th Chief of the Name and Arms of MacLaren

Gaelic Name: Cinneadh MacLabhrainn

Clan Crest Description: A lion's head erased Sable crowned with an antique crown of six (four visible) points Or, between two branches of laurel issuing from the Wreath at either side of the head both Proper.

Clan MacLaren is one of the oldest Scottish Clans, stretching back over a thousand years. Members from all over the world may trace their ancestors back to the ancient territories of Scotland, which stretch from the Braes of Balquhidder to Loch Earn.

Clan Chiefs were cadets of the Earls of Strathearn's Celtic dynastic dynasty. The Clan MacLaren was named after Abbot Labhran (Laurence) of Achtow in the early 1200s. The Clan was powerful until the 16th century, when, under pressure from the Campbells, the Clan MacGregor carried out a raid on eighteen residences, killing Clan families and the Chief.

This allowed the MacGregors to take control, and the Clan MacLaren was unable to prove a formal title to their original homelands because they lacked a Chief and lands. The Clan MacLaren had officially become 'chiefless and landless.' From the Battle of Bannockburn to the catastrophic Battle of Culloden, the Clan fought for the Scottish throne and backed the Jacobites. The Clan's fortunes were varied until the twentieth century, when its standing was securely restored.

When Donald MacLaren of MacLaren and Achleskine successfully matriculated his Arms at the Lyon Court and acquired property in Balquhidder in 1957, the Clan's status of "chiefless and landless" was lifted. The traditional MacLaren gathering point, Creag a Tuirc, or 'The Boar's Rock,' was part of that territory and is still a prominent landmark today. A few years later, the Society was formed to promote the Clan's interests and to bring members from all over the world together.

Donald MacLaren's son, Donald MacLaren, succeeded him after his death in 1966. As a member of the Diplomatic Service, the current Clan Chief has served in Berlin, Moscow, Havana, and Caracas, and was the British Ambassador to the Republic of Georgia from 2004 to 2007. The Chief now resides in Balquhidder with his wife, Maida, and their children, Donald Og, Florian, Louis, Iona, and Marina, after retiring from the Diplomatic Service.

Question: Did The MacLaren Clan Fight At Culloden?

Answer: Yes, During the Jacobite rising of 1745, the Clan MacLaren fought in support of the Jacobite cause at the Battle of Prestonpans and the Battle of Falkirk Muir, both of which they won. They were there, however, in the Battle of Culloden in 1746, when they were beaten.

Question: What Nationality Is The Last Name Mclaren?

Answer: MacLaren or Maclaren is a Scottish and Northern Irish surname. The name is an anagram of the Gaelic Mac Labhrainn, which means "son of Labhrann." Lawrence is a Gaelicised version of the Gaelic given name Labhrann.
