About The Nicholson / MacNicol Ancient Tartan
Clan MacNicol, also known as Clan Nicholson, is an ancient Highland clan with Norse-Gaelic roots, traditionally associated with the Isle of Skye and the western Highlands. The name comes from the Gaelic MacNeacail, meaning "son of Nicol," and over time, this evolved into MacNicol and Nicholson in English-speaking records.
The clan was originally based near Lewis and Assynt, where they held land and influence in the medieval period. Though later overshadowed by more dominant neighboring clans, the MacNicols maintained a distinct identity, with strong connections to Norse seafaring traditions and the early Christian church in Scotland.
