History of Clan MacTavish – Book
US Library of Congress Copyright and Control Number: 2012942086
A highly researched History of the Clan MacTavish, by our Chief’s Seannachie, Patrick Thompson. The book explores the origin of the Clan MacTavish ancestors beginning in 2nd century Ireland, and carries the clan to its present 21st century stature. It dispels the myth that MacTavishes are descended from the Campbells, and provides the true descent via ancient Irish annals, and other records. DNA comparison is also provided that backs this fact. There is no other book available that provides a complete history of the clan. This is not a trivial work. Copies reside at HM Register House, Edinburgh, Scotland, and was reviewed by the Lord Lyon, the US Library of Congress, and other institutions.
This book is also available at amazon.com in kindle book format. The link is: https://www.amazon.com/HISTORY-CLAN-MACTAVISH-Patrick-Thompson-ebook/dp/B01BZGZNKY
Here’s what a few readers have to say:
—“It was a scholarly work. Meticulous research and organization followed by an excellent presentation. You were careful to point out any assumptions you were going to make; and they were always the most logical conclusions from the available evidence.”
–“Having never thought about the history of Scotland or Ireland beyond recent events and knowing little about the landscape I spent a great deal of time referring to the very helpful maps you provided so that I could better understand the movement of individuals and groups. And even though at times distances were not great (by todays standards) I tried to think of the difficulties of the times. It is difficult for us to really understand how hard life and living was. Well being was often dependent upon strength and who you knew (not much has changed I guess).”
–“The detail provided about our ancestors, who they were, where they traversed, and their challenges provided wonderful insight.”
—“This is a book to be treasured. Well done research, excellent presentation.”

Suggested Kilt and Tartan Merchants.
Kilts and Tartan Cloth, and Accessories. (Clan MacTavish recommends tartan fabric by Locharron of Scotand for any of your tartan desires (if available through Locharron’s Mill). Most Kilt or Ladies tartan skirt makers will order from Lochharon if asked to do so.)
PLEASE READ: A note on buying men’s shoulder plaids and ladies sashes. If you are considering ordering a tartan kilt, dress or skirt and wish to have a plaid or sash that actually matches, order all your tartan items (everything) at the same time. The best reason to order all items at once is that different dye lots or bolts of tartan may not perfectly match an older or newer dye lot. The shades of the same colors may vary from lot to lot of fabric, and will probably differ if not ordering all your selected tartan accessories at the same time. If the ladies desire a longer sash than is normally available (usually sold commercially at 90 inches), specify the length (100, 110, 120 [120″ is normally maximum length] inches).
